Portal Morse Code Radio Transmission

[TeeRyanHee]

it means "u got trolled chell"

[DEfbandname]

"for your un-safety, and the safety of others...." ---- GlaDoS

[WheatleysAwsome]

what does it mean?

[epicwinface]

am i the only one here who can understand morse code

[ZeldaMasterGeo]

i just got portal 2 i think its cool the 1st test chamber is the same

[thisfireinmyskin]

Huh? Radio? What's going on with that radio?

[catmaster90]

Decoded:

you will be baked (it says this over and over)

[Randomlyweir]

Hold the radio as high as you can! You must find signal!

[Iti4StudioFilm]

Why i have read "E" to troll an internet" ? 1:18

[SmoOsH93]

Press 10 to See a Smile :-)

[teoriasdelavida]

I finally discovered the message!!! :)

"INTERIOR TRANSMISSION RECEIVED, EXTERNAL DATA LINE ACTIVE, MESSAGE DIGEST ACTIVE"

[teoriasdelavida]

Oh! It says something like this: ---- transmission received external bata li ...l messa m...f

It's pretty hard to understand at that speed!!! But im sure it says "transmission received external..." but the next words are very difficult!

[dempert11]

@teoriasdelavida well i think the lmessa part calls blackmessa -.-

[dempert11]

so i think it is something aboaut blackmessa

[cfox248]

holy crap, cool. What does it mean? Does anyone know?

[teoriasdelavida]

@cfox248 the words i could understand are "transmission received external...bata....." ill keep trying to translate the full message! It repeats that phrase... transmission received external.....blablabla"

[teoriasdelavida]

@teoriasdelavida "INTERIOR TRANSMISSION RECEIVED, EXTERNAL DATA LINE ACTIVE, MESSAGE DIGEST ACTIVE"

[shisumi1]

anyone know what it said?

[enlowmation]

PRESS 2 FOR 2

[justinlovespastry]

So you can't take the rambunctious sounds of 85.2 FM with you?

[iisthemoose]

@justinlovespastry if only.

[D3v1ance]

HOLY SHIT, MASS EFFECT! I LOVE THAT GAME

[hunterboyvids]

I translated it and it says ( very amusing) hope it helps

[baiba1988]

Am i the only one who put the glass inside the toilet bowl?

[Delocaz]

@baiba1988 Nope, i did it too...

[xohearts16]

@baiba1988 HAHA I did that too

[transmissionslipping]

That's what I called "high-tech"

[Bronyforever]

Ever thought of decoding it? Maybe its Rat man giving instructions to chell secretly. Maybe if you didn't already know about GlaDOS he tells you, or that he might be saying "You're not alone" or "You are not the only one here". or some other lunacy.

This could be BIG news to portal fans!

[fatedclonerex]

what happened with the update in 2011

[TheCandSfilms]

omfg...it's companion cube trying to tell u something...it says...the cake is a lie?

[xXAlbinoCrowXx]

Did anyone notice it's playing Still Alive? xD I'm a little slow on the uptake here, everyone probably knew that. xD

[pikachu000000000]

Actually, this is an SSTV message (Slow Scan TV). A long time ago people used this to send pictures over radio. There are still programs to decode this into a picture. Just google it. :)

[JSwanson547]

can anybody decode this, because I can't.

[charcoalrox]

@JSwanson547 sonictorrent did its top rated if you check back on this video

[DeviDecay]

Base64: õítíß]ß½�o¯6é·|ÕÝùãf¸××z

HEX: �}�7+¶�kØ5B¤Ö

DEC/CHAR: k tªQÖ£

[millerboy321]

Glados denies them signal

[millerboy321]

The cube sends the signal

[9volt65]

kay. I tried to translate the 9e107d9d372bb6826bd81d3542a419­­d6 into hex

this is what I got:

�}�7+¶�kØ5B¤Ö

i'm serious.

[icanthinkofauser]

YAY STILL ALIVE IS PLAYING IN THE BACK!!

[Starbladek]

...Is it just me or did it look like Chell was running at 0:38

[therealGLaDOS]

who is ratman!?

[TheMinecraftDan]

@therealGLaDOS ratman is a man who runs around in the aperture science facility which runs around in the facility and leaves notes of the truth. that is it.

[thelegomaster21]

@TheMinecraftDan oh thats the guy who put ''the cake is a lie''on walls

thnx :P

[79GMCVANDURA]

Thought it was just an annoying background sound until I really listened.

[idioot501]

...-/./.-./-.--/ .-/--/..-/.../../-./--./.-.-.-

[teoriasdelavida]

@idioot501 very amusing?

[levilee207]

lol, the song is a pepped up faster tempo version of Still Alive.

[NerdBryant64]

how come it dosnt work on my console

[HeartbrokenOtaku]

@zombe08 you're right. My apologies mr @scullyy

[joangura]

morse code is >>>  EPISODE3Q42010

[DjGracus]

in my portal not work

[HeartbrokenOtaku]

Hey if anyone out here either knows morse code or studies it, find out what it means :P

[scullyy]

@HeartbrokenOtaku you bloody moron. look at the highest rated comment

[HeartbrokenOtaku]

@scullyy i'm on my ipod. i cannot see the highest rated comment; moron, think before you speak. not everyone's on a desk/laptop

[zombe08]

@HeartbrokenOtaku I think your a moron because not every one would assume your on your Ipod because not every one has an Ipod so you should think before you reply or you could at least say it in a more polite way

[homicidemanex]

So do you need to beat the game first? I own the game and just updated it but no green lights on the radios, no crazy sounds when they get zapped and no morse code.

[Mudi106]

@homicidemanex The light goes green when you take the radio into a specific place. For an example, you have to take this first radio to the red button, then it will become green.

[homicidemanex]

@Mudi106

No what I meant was the new content only available after you beat the game. I have beaten it before but for some reason I did have to beat it again before the radios were put into the game along with the red/green lights etc

[Android2137]

... I know this video is about the Morse code, but how do you throw things in the PC version?

[FellBlade9]

@Android2137 pick up an item using "E" and throw a held item by pressing "Mouse 1" on default controls

[9gab29hill]

its morse code

[Humbleness51]

@9gab29hill "PORTAL MORSE CODE RADIO TRANSMISSION"

[koopabro12]

the radio losses signal

[EarthCyclop]

You have a very smooth frame rate

[TheRandomandTheUke]

0:35

[sparkie1j]

wait is this orange boxportal or still alive

[ShadowGatex]

@sparkie1j The PC version.

[shadowAaron34]

how did you throw the cup foreword? what do you press?

[xxxXXXCH04XXXxxx]

clic...?

[drkilljoy77]

you forgot to try burning it up in the field.

[DobsBomber]

OH MY GOD!!! I just made a huge connection! This just might work...

[halofanteam]

i got a morse code decoder

but something is wrong, i got my laptop hacked and my decoder says "you must stop".

something stalks me.

[SatoTM2]

It's spelling "i like secks"

[tirsod2000]

0:09 how you trow things?

[halofanteam]

@tirsod2000 *facepalm*

[bononcrusher2]

Based on the comments here,

Prior Transmission Active. External Dateline Active. Message Digest (?) Active

[inr21sevier]

hmmm @umbsix it could be referring to assassins creed game or just eve as in adam and eve probably just a cameo for assassins creed if your right? and die and wr could be fo war data line active from et,s/aliens so its weird thanks.

[umbsix]

Here's wut I got using Skysweeper Pro.

[SuperCatfire]

0:10 : MR.CUPPYCUP!!!

[jorgeflp1]

this update is scary,did you see the sstv images?

[XxTorrentWolfxX]

beep

[Smileperience]

the radio is like:Put me down nerd!

[chadowofdarkness]

this always scared me because i thought it was an sos signal sent by people trapped in aperture science. it scared me cause it was so quiet and it played over and over. its weird.

[xxxXXXCH04XXXxxx]

wtf?!

[ipaqmaster]

@chadowofdarkness

thats how i feel right now listening to what used to be my favorite song to whistle ...fade into an unforgiving hell

but srs, im scared the crap out of =P and the SSTV? ffs xD

[ILiveForCommenting]

@chadowofdarkness I think it IS from people trapped in Aperture Science... whatever it is, it scares the heck out of me.

BEEP BEEEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEP BEEP

[Hiderfriend]

@chadowofdarkness In portal 2 there are traped PEOPLE >:D so be scared

[MrCcbcc]

@chadowofdarkness Trust me it wasnt that. SOS is Dot Dot Dot (3 fast bleeps) then dash dash dash (3 slower bleeps) then dot dot dot again (3 fast bleeps)

[Clankl33t]

What is he saying?

[machiner6]

what could it be?

[halflifefan165]

when thevideo reached 2:33 i thought i saw some red floating like air for a split second.

[Daggerspine107]

This might be obious. But I think GlaDos wanted to get killed and for the the player to escape that was all part of the test. And there was maybe alot of GlaDo's to replace the first one.

[thewizard99]

@Daggerspine107 GlaDOS is a single entity with multiple sub personality's, as long as one of those personality's exists then she will never die.

[Daggerspine107]

@thewizard99 Oh. And if all of those were burned, then GlaDOS would be still alive but no emotions?

[thewizard99]

@Daggerspine107 well at the end of the credits you see more of the personality cores, and the cake along with the companion cube. so she is accentually "still alive"

[Daggerspine107]

@thewizard99 Oh thats what those were. : /. I kinda thought so lol. Thanks.

[thewizard99]

@Daggerspine107 which is why in the little demo they showed was another personality core, the one you interacted with, its the reason glados comes back, shes using one of her personality core to interact with you, making you think he's on your side, when really its her behind it.

[Daggerspine107]

@thewizard99 Ohhhh. Thanks lol. I now understand. I think. lol. :D.

[Urmomzface]

@JamesPond0081

lol they should cast morgan freeman INSTEAD of gordan freeman

[machiner6]

@Urmomzface or Gordon Frohman. (Ever read Concerned?)

[DarkStarboye]

The radio was floatng infront of her...

[brentofeluy24]

amazing!?

[MrCcbcc]

sounds like "SOS" my morse code is a little bad but i know ...///.. any were

[JamesPond0081]

I know this has nothing to do with it but i think after Portal 2 and when they make HL 3 the portal girl and and Morgan Freeman will team up or The girl dies and Freeman takes the portal gun because Youll see Freeman has the Portal gun

[Sonictorrent]

this morse code translates to: Message 1: interior transmission active external data line active message digest active Message 2: System data dump active User back up active Password back up active Message 5: (MD5 for: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.) 9e107d9d372bb6826bd81d3542a419­d6 Message 17: (Translates to LOL) BEEP BEEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP BEEP BEEEP BEEP BEEP the last one is morse code in morse

[Borohockey28]

@Sonictorrent Morse code...in morse code...Im more confused than in math.

[MoveFast319]

@Sonictorrent How did you lear morse code? I'd like to get fluent in it.

[AGrayPhantom]

@Sonictorrent But what does it all mean?!

[ChileanCrafter]

@Sonictorrent you pro

[YearOfTheShadow]

@Sonictorrent Do you know if there was really an actually reason why Valve put this little morse code into the game or is it just there to scare people and have others go crazy trying to figure out what it means?

[spartawar117]

sorta creepy

[Rellik428]

Every radio has a code, when you place it in the chambers. Its really weird XD. Valve are genius's 

[ClayDemond2300]

what did it say?

[amyluvsoniku]

You do know you can just search it up on google and see what it says...Right? All I know is that the last part says: Beep beep beep beep lol. And I'm not kidding about the lol part...It really says that O.O

[torosyan]

take the radio though the particle field. listen.

[Fallingdown232]

it means, "gordon, you are next".

[SPAWN118]

@Fallingdown232 Gordon doesnt participate in the game PORTAL if you did know When you play portal your a girl

[MisssGlow]

I find this creepy for some reason. :\

[tehrealdjcrossfire]

@MisssGlow I found this whole game creepy in a way I find the whole half life based games creepy just somethen about them *excluding counter strike*

[Lopinjop1238]

Anyone tried to transalate this stuff yet?

[SondaroSasuke]

@Lopinjop1238 Esperantanaso, like 2 months ago lol

[patrickbenjy1]

I bet it says, "Morse code is for plebs, if you're hearing this you smell"

nah only joking, I have no idea!

[plrusek]

valve must you troll us before something cool

[HocusPocusProductons]

first however-

[superxbetatester]

did they updated it on xbox?

[RicardoLima1992]

its for an achievement

you have to recieve a few amount of "transmitions" aka morse codes to unlock'em ^^

[NadejdaProductions]

translates to: Interior transmission active, external data line active, message digest active, system data dump active.

[TheLimko]

Maybe black Mesa has sumthing to do with this...

... Cuz Glades or what ever says the world has changed out side...

... Maybe meaning the black Mesa inncend...

... And those are black Mesa calling for help to apputure science...

[Jenrama]

@TheLimko rival companies calling eachother for help? Yeah. they only attempt to overstep eachother at every turn..

[TheHartmanis]

I think portal is based on realtime half life which means earth is under combine control and those messages comes from survivors. Maybe?

[07towers8]

poor mug

[TheTruthIsHiding4321]

my theory is someone is signaling you for help and stay away from GladOs

[Falador321]

i believe thts morse code for S.O.S

[07towers8]

@Falador321 ...///... is sos, the radio is much more complex

[CrappyLego]

wat it mean

[edwining]

I got the 1/26 of this achievement ACCIDENTALLY. I was gonna replay portal for fun to see the end part when chell gets dragged away, and i took the radio and im like HOLY SHIT WTF???? when i got to the button and i was scared and i stopped playing lol

[Bobofjudia]

do I get the acheivment for just finding this morse code?

[XR11995]

I dont get it, I got my portal version updated, but i dont see these radios, not even te green light, why?

[pinkrosa44]

I dont get it, I got my portal version updated, but i dont see these radios, not even te green light, why?

[Bluedino549]

"I hear what you think, GLaDOS!" :P

It is not working for me - i don't know why... do you have to do something before?

[NPCkey]

what the hell mine is like not red or green its just blue the normal colour

[TheFXGuy]

I found some thread on Google that had translated all of the morse code things. Also, if you "translate" the dinosaur fizzle noise (or whatever people are calling it when you put the radio through an "energy wall") it comes out with a bunch of weird images.

[hampsters11]

It says SOS

[vivhero]

I knew it was morse code!!!!

[jastermereel22]

ufos?

[Wolfzor1]

ok.. so what it say's?

[TheFXGuy]

OMG I KNOW WHAT IT SAYS!

"Giggidy"

Do you know what that means? Valve likes family guy!

[BiATom411]

Is it me, or does this seem a good idea for mods? Like trying to find the location of a radio beacon. This has gave me a good idea.

[jbcdu87]

i actually know what it is, in pc zone magazine they showed 2 robots that are made from scrap parts in the aperture lab, portal 2 is going to be placed 100 years after portal 1 so yeah, oh and the robots in the morse code thing, there part of a multi player mode were you play in test chambers but with an other player so yeah its morse code that when you open it in a text file, it looks like the 2 robots. hope it helps and wow i wrote alot lol

[BrockJohnsonTV]

lol at 0:27 "Por favor"

[koscka]

that are morse code!!

[koscka]

that are morse code!!

[gamegod10104]

is the update for xbox 360 too i have it for pc but lost it

[SandBox86]

hahaha bink is his gayfriend. HAHAAH

[iisthemoose]

@SandBox86 oh my gosh no it's not like that at all D:

[eagames008]

@SandBox86 lol ! xD

[mysterykcad]

does anyone find the noise it makes when u destroy a radio kinda creepy? cause it freaks me out real bad

[whitedwarf75]

@mysterykcad i haven't heard it in the game yet, cuz i haven't destroyed one. but i heard the sound online and i jumped, lol

[Flashtheman2]

it really says LOL in morse code. look it up!

[tjdrummer13]

@Flashtheman2 yeah, i was in EB games today buying orange box, and the guy in there said his friends had been messing around with the new patch thing and they found a few messages that just said lol, was pretty cool. theres aparently ones that say stuff like "GLaDOS.....Reboot...."

[ZAR3M]

"Bink is now playing Mass Effect"

[Esperantanaso]

I started translating the first part while you were moving around. I got:

NTRIOR NRANSMISSION ACTIVE XTERNAL DATAELINE ACTIVE (inaudible) DIG...A

Then I realized it started repeating when you put it down near the end, and it was much clearer. Then I got:

RIOR TRANSMISSION ACTIVE EXTERNAL DATA LINE ACTIVE MESSAGE DIGEST ACTIVE (long pause) I (you started moving it around)

I have been practicing Morse JUST for this transmission. :)

[AZproductions117]

@Esperantanaso Yeah, for one area i got

CLONE 17 AT FINAL EXAMINATION

EX.. KIWEWDVGF.... INCINERATION IMMINENT

YOU ARE A BAD PERSON

[UntrustedSource]

@Esperantanaso

PRIOR TRANSMISSION ACTIVE EXTERNAL DATA LINE ACTIVE MESSAGE DIGEST ACTIVE.

[xbasz]

@Esperantanaso I think it's prior lol

[NitromathThePizzaGuy]

@Esperantanaso lol so have i, but when i heard the first few seconds, i was like 0_0

im not translating that.

[stepz91]

@Esperantanaso

Interior?

[Esperantanaso]

I listened to the transmission again, and it's still "interior". I'm surprised how many thumbs up my comment got! ;O

[Gerstein1]

@Esperantanaso The morse code for this one is actually the morse code cycle of a computer starting. There is another one that is morse code in the game that says LOL. See if you can find it,

[zbddbzproductions]

@Esperantanaso its not morse code its slow scan television -_- but it could be morse code to =/

[Esperantanaso]

@zbddbzproductions Nooo, I'm 99.999999999% sure it's morse code. How else would I be able to distinguish the morse letters and translate them into English words? I think you are thinking of another radio in the game which sends a different kind of signal.

[zbddbzproductions]

@Esperantanaso well everyone else is sure that its NOT morse code and that it IS slow scan television

[Esperantanaso]

@zbddbzproductions If you knew how to speak Spanish, then you would CERTAINLY recognize when someone is speaking Spanish, correct? I can understand Morse (at least I understood it better 5 months ago), so I know that the signal being sent is Morse. Have you ever even heard morse code? Try searching for it on YouTube, and you will find that it sounds very similar to this. I suppose the analogy would be... even if you don't want to learn Spanish, you can learn how to recognize it. ;)

[MrRatermat]

@Esperantanaso hey! how did you do that?!

[dylandionrakiman]

nice easter egg
