It didn't change. There are Three different recipes for the Backup Radio. A low level, a mid level, and a high level version. Rikti Alloy would be for the high level version, the Military Cybernetic would be for the mid level version.
edit: I just added the recipe info to the Wiki's Backup Radio page.

really? okay, did not know that. Why the 3 levels? do they summon something different? Can you have 1 of each level? Just curious

All three recipes create the same power and you can only have one total. The reason for having three recipes is that salvage items are divided into three different tiers based on level. The recipes are similarly split along levels so enemies at a particular level can drop the salvage required for the particular recipe they can drop. If there was only one recipe then either it would only be available from a limited level range of enemies or it would drop for characters who are the wrong level to acquire the salvage.

And in general you always want to buy the lowest level version because the salvage is cheapest. Why pay 2-4million for the rare when you can pay 6-20k instead?
For some bizarre reason, on the market interface the low level recipe is always the one in the middle.

I certainly have no problem with the idea of buying the Backup Radio recipes with the cheapest salvage costs. But are you sure the "low level" recipe is actually the middle one listed in the market interface? I always assumed that the middle one listed was in fact the "middle level" recipe.|

It makes sense that this would usually be the cheapest one to craft because of simple supply-and-demand. Most people usually speed through the low levels quickly (making low range rare salvage expensive) and most people are crafting high level IOs at high level (making high range rare salvage expensive). Therefore medium range rare salvages tend to be the cheapest available across the board.

Star, I've crafted a few of these and they always say they are good for 5 charges. Is there a way to update the Wik page ? Right now it says 10 charges.

Actually, the back-up radio will summon three different minions. I've gotten rogue isles police, arachnos drones, and arachnos spider soldier guys. I always assumed that the police came with the low level radio, the drones with the midlevel radio, and the arachnos soldier with the high level. Maybe I'm wrong? Dunno.

When I start a new alt and get enough cash to put in what I call 'patience bids' for that middle one. That is the low level one. Sell off those I dont need at a fair and resonable 1 mil considering your not paying 4 mil for your rare. I do this guilt free. ;p
Same for the middle Kinetic shield thingy, the rez other power and of course the med pack self heal.
*The pets for both Preations are kinda stinkeroo in my opinion but the Red and Blue sider pets are fine. Well worth it. At the very least you can summon the gold side ones to get shot at instead of you. I find their attack chains pathetic though so don't rely on them taking much agro off you. Theyre not Shivans... none of them.

The Shivan is an Elite Boss. By contrast the Backup Radio here summons a lieutenant

lol, well of course something you can buy shouldn't be as good as the shivan shard that you have to earn in a pvp zone. I completely get that.
Thank you for all the input and I get why there are 3 levels, just didn't really notice before. Mainly cuz I don't usually buy things like that. But after finding one it seemed interesting enough to buy some more. I could of sworn the ones I bought were the same rare salvage (the mil cyber), but oh well.

Yep, there's an edit button at the top of the page. Pressing that will allow you to change the number of charges from 10 to 5.

No, they are definitely all the same power, it might be that low level characters summon different allies. I'll try and remember to check.

.So, not my fault (this time).
Though, the price it can be sold to the store and the level required for crafting still needs to be filled in.

Why did the rare salvage needed to make it change from Military Cybernetic to Rikti Alloy??????????
The change makes no sense, is rikti alloy suddenly better for making it then the cybernetic? And for those of us that plan ahead and buy the recipe and the salvage to make it at a later time, we got screwed. I lost a bunch of AE tickets and several million influence buying the MC. Now I need rikti alloy and have a lot of useless MC's, pretty lame.
