  > Based on what? Based on the fact this got any media coverage whatsoever. Idea is cool, from the technical perspective of bridging from one frequency range to another (and there's obviously money to be made in it, as the equipment he used is manufactured by Ubiquiti for something similar to this purpose), but really is a very poor way to try and keep a low profile or make yourself less traceable/make an easier escape. > Any HAM radio operator or junior electrical engineer is excellent at this. Triangulation isn't magic. http://www.homingin.com/beginr.html#toc http://www.homingin.com/beginr.html#toc Right, I think it drives home just how relatively straightforward it is, not to say the FCC has a monopoly on the technique by any standards. I had mentioned the FCC, as this tends to be their domain, and I've been on the wrong side of their triangulation once in my youth. ;)
