How do I power up the radio transmitter?
I'm on the "Taking Independence" mission with the Minutemen and now I need to power the radio transmitter. I already built a generator, but that doesn't seem to be enough, I need to connect it somehow.
How exactly do I connect the generator to the transmitter? The various electricity items I can build in the Workshop aren't really explained.

You build a generator and then power cables from the generator to the radio.
You create wires by pointing at an electrical object and pressing the button highlighted for Attach Wire:

On one of the doors leading to the interior there is a little power pole or relay. Connect a medium generator to that, and it will light up the entire inside of the castle and give the large water filtration unit that comes prebuilt with the castle power. That was it.

Approach the Radio Equipment Slot, and install each radio part that you took from the crate. Note that you must insert the parts in a particular order to increase the transmitter's power charge, indicated by the green lights on the transmitter. Install the parts in this order: buttons, dials, then tubes.Fallout 4 how to power up the radio transmitter in taking independence

Answer 2
In order to link your generator to other objects, you must first target the generator in build mode. When you press space (assuming you are playing on a PC - I am unsure what the console equivalent is), you will start dragging a wire. With the wire in hand, target the object you want to power - in this case, the radio transmitter. When you press space (or the console equivalent) again, the wire will now run between the objects. You're done!
Note that you need a clear line of sight between the generator and the object that you are powering.
