I’m just following the rules of the community and this has. Been on my mind for the past few days . I used to be able to listen into law enforcement and even automated the process but they upgraded their system and encrypted their system.

Now I’m theorizing how I can track law enforcement different ways one of which is using a direction finding system. i could super technical and order a bunch of parts and have a desktop running all the time or I can try to dumb it down with analog composition.

I think it’s cool that you can add AC with a ring of iron and winding wires in a specific way (the other way will subtract it)

    wait, it sounds like you want to use something called four square antenna, but it’s usually only made for HF. you’d have to rework it significantly for microwave region http://tm1o.free.fr/4SQ/80m/en_ver_final4-sq_03_04_15.pdf instead of transformers you’d have to use segments of transmission lines with right impedances and some directional couplers, gives direction immediately, no need to compare phase between different SDRs
