|Duct Tape|This  tape consists of three layers: a plastic covering, a cloth mesh, and a thick rubber adhesive. Silvery tape is most familiar (a testament to its use in air-conditioning vent work), but it comes in every color and even in camouflage patterns. Clever characters may use duct tape as improvised equipment (p. B345) for many tasks – repairs, bandaging, splint wrapping, etc. An entire roll can be braided into a 20-yard rope capable of holding 200 lbs. Duct tape is also a handy makeshift restraint; a prisoner must make a ST-3  roll to break free. A 60-yard roll is |$1|2 lbs.|

Radio options:

|ECCM| The radio uses frequency-hopping to make its transmissions hard to jam or intercept. When communicating with another radio synchronized to use the same settings, this prevents any interference from selective radio jammers. It has no effect against noise jamming.|x2 price|  |
|Receive-Only|A radio can be built only to receive messages. |x0.1 cost|x0.2 weight|x10 duration|
