Will pole support radio set? (6)
I believe the answer is:
ordain
'will' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'pole support radio set?' is the wordplay.
'pole' becomes 'n' (abbreviation for North, as in North Pole).
'support' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters hold others up).
'set?' indicates an anagram (instruction to set the letters).
'radio' anagrammed gives 'ordai'.
'n' put after 'ordai' is 'ORDAIN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ordain that I've seen before include "Make someone a clergyman" , "Consecrate as priest" , "Decree authoritatively" , "Decree or consecrate" , "Inroad (anag.)" .)
