A radio "perceives" electromagnic radio waves and transmits the perception as sound waves which we may perceive as music, etc. If you smash the radio the sound waves are no longer transmitted even though the electromagnic waves are still there. IF you cease to hear the radio the reality would still exist. You just wouldn't have the means to recognize it.

Reality is a social construct that comes with the belief that language means anything. As Husserl understood, it is in its essence a feeling, without which individuals have no moral choice other than solipsism. Objectivity only comes out of individual perceptions, and individual perceptions, at some level, implode objective, closed system of investigation. It is an imperfect, oppressive, and necessary institution.
