[FedCom] Direction Finding Techniques for Fedcom Freqs?

[Ken]

Interesting challenge.  I'd assume that "signal stalker"/"close call 
capture" technology would work on digital encrypted signals.  I know on 
typical scanner land repeaters on a high hill, I get a hit with my pro 83 
just about 1 mile from the transmitter site with the unit in the cup holder 
in the "stealth monitoring" vehicle.

Just wonder how small of a directional antenna one could one use with a 
portable that would be effective but with a very small footprint.

Thanks to Tom (CT) from a message in the distant past, perhaps this small 
directional antenna would be beneficial to "The Hunt"

works for 400 to 1300 mhz BUT I would guess that even in the 162-174 mhz it 
would work.....
