What lore do you ignore?

[Rosenstrauch]

I might be wrong or mistaken, but isn't the material used in the Garlean Radios that provides their anti-tempering powers Giantsgall? And isn't that same material used in the process of converting Vrtra's scales into protective talismans?

I would need to comb through the text to figure out if that's actually the case.

Yes, I do remember that being implied. IIRC it's that the ore is from Corvos which is close to (and I think elsewhere stated to be geographically similar to) Thavnair.

So if it is giantsgall or similar, it's possible that the radios have a small amount of power to protect from a single burst of tempering, but it's the dragon scales that give it lasting energy to protect you in a danger zone, or something like that.

Corvos is just across the sea (where alzadars legacy takes place) from thavnir in south central ilsabard

Corvos is across the Corvos Narrow in the Bounty, north of Thavnair. It would make sense if they would share materials. Although Corvos is not geographically similar to Thavnair, but rather to Labyrinthos, which is explicitly said to be based on the geography and climate of Corvos.
