I know nothing about how this all works, how do people know who did it / where it came from? I presume its possible to get a rough location but in a built up area I'd imagine its pretty much impossible to find the person that did it unless it's left running right?
- robotnikman 4y agoYou can use radio triangulation to determine where the signal source is while it is transmitting

- Johnythree 4y agoIf you are blocking an essential services channel (eg Aircraft, Police, Ambulance, military), the authorities can get a triangulation (within meters) on you in just a few minutes.
- tb_technical 4y agoIf you're interested, Hams do an activity called a "Foxhunt" where they're trying to triangulate the position of a broadcasted signal. It's sort of like wargaming, but for Hams. This, in conjunction with whoever owns the plot of land the offending device happens to live on, determines who is to blame when someone is broadcasting illegally. Here's a link describing the activity, in case you're interested: https://hamradioplanet.com/what-is-a-fox-hunt-in-ham-radio/ https://hamradioplanet.com/what-is-a-fox-hunt-in-ham-radio/
