Somewhere in Nasdara, a radio broadcast is spelling out a location in dots and dashes, and that location is a bunker with a code. Morse code bunkers are a Badlands system, separate from base-game 1.30, and the whole loop is unforgiving in one specific way: if you lose the code, you lose the entry. This guide covers the setup, how to read a broadcast, and what is still unpublished.
Quick answer
Keep a personal radio with a charged battery, switched on, so you can receive a broadcast.
A broadcast carries two things in Morse code: a bunker's coordinates and its access code. Write both down.
Targets are officially urban bunkers in built-up areas, not military bases.
Interior loot is unpublished: this guide does not promise any item inside.

What you need: a working personal radio
Keep a personal radio with a charged battery, switched on. Each part of that sentence is a requirement, not decoration: a radio without a charged battery cannot receive, and a radio that is switched off cannot play a broadcast you are not listening to. Morse code playback on radios is listed among the Badlands additions in the 1.30 patch notes, so this is DLC content in Nasdara, not a base-game feature that works the same way everywhere.
Gap: broadcast frequencies are unpublished. This guide gives no frequency to tune to, because no confirmed frequency is available in the factpack sources. If a frequency list appears elsewhere, treat it as unverified until it traces to an official or otherwise reliable source.
Reading a broadcast: coordinates and code
A broadcast carries a bunker's coordinates and its access code in dots and dashes. The dots and dashes are the message, not background flavor: decode them into a grid you can travel to and a code you can enter. Write both down immediately, in full, before you move. Memory is not a backup here, because a single wrong character can send you to the wrong grid or lock you out at the entrance.
Traveling to the grid and entering
Travel to the grid from the broadcast, then use the code at the entrance. The targets are officially urban bunkers, which means built-up areas, not military bases. That changes how you should approach: expect streets and buildings around the entrance rather than a fenced military compound, and plan the trip as an urban approach, with cover, exits, and other players in mind, rather than a military-zone raid.
Do not lose the code. That is the practical rule of the whole system: the coordinates get you to the door, and only the code gets you through it. If you travel without the code written down, you have spent the trip for nothing. Double-check the code against your notes before you leave, and keep the notes where you can read them again at the entrance.
What is inside: unpublished
Interior loot is unpublished, and this guide states that plainly rather than filling the gap with a loot list. No confirmed interior contents are available in the factpack sources, so no item, tier, or quantity is promised here. Go for the confirmed system, the coordinates and the code, and treat anything inside as unknown until a reliable source confirms it. Any loot list you see elsewhere for these bunkers should be treated as unverified unless it traces to an official source.
Practical tips for the trip
Bring water, food, and supplies for the trip. A broadcast can send you across the map, and Nasdara travel is not a short walk between two safe rooms: pack for the distance, not just for the door. The same logic applies to the return journey, which is easy to forget when the entrance is the goal. Plan water, food, and supplies for getting back as well, and do not start a long trip on an empty stomach or an empty bottle.
Remember the separation: this is a Badlands and Nasdara system, separate from base-game 1.30. A player who owns only the base game should not expect the same Morse bunker loop outside Nasdara, and a player planning a Badlands trip should not confuse base-game additions, such as motorbikes or the Digital Code Lock on every map, with this DLC-only broadcast system.
Unknowns, stated as gaps
Four things remain unpublished and are stated here as gaps, not filled in: broadcast frequencies, bunker count, rotation timer, and interior loot. Until reliable sources confirm them, no frequency, count, timer, or loot promise in this guide should be inferred from silence. If you find one of these confirmed elsewhere, check the source before acting on it, because a wrong frequency wastes listening time and a wrong count wastes travel time.
