Just think about it....
Has there ever been a explanation on how the melnorme found the Slyrandro? Obviously the tranmitters the precursors set up are not there any more.

Well, look at the broadcasting statment made by the Slyrandro. First, I doubt the precursors used the tech we did and second. It says that it was for Slyrando to Precursor, not Slyrandro to anybody. It says that quite specific.

I don't know...
See the statement from the Slyrandro imply that they could only talk with the Precursors.
On the otherhand, you two bring up valid points.
So my thoughts are now that the comm device is not working/not compatible and that the desighners of the game simply overlooked that particular fact.

Well,
The Ur-Quan?! The long brownish guys from the Milieu with all the eyes and arms? They used to come visit us regularly about three Drahns ago. They told us about all the interesting things they found from their scouting missions. They were really nice! Why do you fight with them?
But the Ur-Quan were such good guys! They had lots of interesting things to tell us about and they never got impatient with our questions. Hmmm. Well, I guess a lot can happen to a species in three Drahn like turning green and evil.
implies that they talked to the Quan as well. Furthermore,
Well, let's see... there was the Melnorme just a few rotations back then we go all the way back over three Drahn ago to the Ur-Quan and the other Milieu guys... the Yuli and the Drahn, I think.
Implies that they've talked to several Milieu members, and the Melnorme. Now unless all of these people set up different satellites outside of the planet, and independetly happened to be looking close enough at a nondescript gas giant to notice there was intelligent life down there, it'd stand to reason that whoever comes close to the planet gets hailed by they Slylandro. as the slylandro cannot construct technology on their own this means that they can talk to people either because.
a) The precursors did find them and put some sort of satellite in orbit, and some sort of contraption in the band where the Slylandro dwell, thus allowing them to talk to others.
b) They can use hyperwaves naturally, just like the Chenjesu
My money is on a), as they aren't chrystalline lifeforms and I have the distinct impression that this has something to do with the Chenjesus inborn ability.

Well, you have convinced me, except for the fact that woukld not the game show the comm device in orbit? And that the Vindicator would have to "drive" up to it - instead of the planet?

Hey, guys. You know, I think this is a really great example of brain-storming, problem solving and logic application. However, I feel the need to point out that this debate/brain-storm is about the contents of a 10+ year old computer game featuring a simplified universe with talking blobs of light.
Indulge us, at lerast we're having fun
That being said, the little blobbies did say that they "Set" dials and varibles on their probes. I assume that means that they can interact with objects. So, perhaps they have their own, very light weight, transmitter? Either built from gasses or given to them by another race.
a) The precursors did find them and put some sort of satellite in orbit, and some sort of contraption in the band where the Slylandro dwell, thus allowing them to talk to others.
Some sort of contraption they can either only talk through, or manipulate. DFoesn't matter really, the result is the same.

That is a VERY good probe to work all that time....
