My local club does foxhunting activities but also has been trying to identify a set of transmissions meant to disrupt the repeater’s operation.
At least three members bought krakens at least in part to find the perpetrator. To me it’s a pretty interesting cat and mouse game. It seems like the illegal transmissions are mobile which has prevented success at stopping them.
- fortran77 4y agoAnother user case is non-malicious interference. Sometimes something is radiating a strong harmonic because of a corroded connector, etc, and the source can be identified with doppler direction finding equipment. Finding a culprit in a repeater war is a more difficult thing to do, because what do you do with the person once he's identified?

The FCC isn't going to proactively go after someone, but they're more than willing to take cases and issue fines if someone has already done most of the legwork.
