You know, I'm sure Comms could be tied to APCs somehow. Like, whatever room they power could also affect sending and receiving communications in that room. Maybe messing with it doesn't take it out all together, but garbles the messages with static
Station bounced radios could not only function during Solar flares, but also work independently from APC comms, but maybe they have an issue with range and are only effective 30 or so tiles away before they get a bit of static as well
