Anyone RDF ?

RDF = Radio Direction Finding.....

In short.... using a beam antenna, you goto a high spot - point the beam around until you get the highest signal strength... this give you a bearing via a compass, you draw a line on the map.
Goto another high spot do the same... then the 2 lines should intersect at the transmitter !!!! Sounds easy

Question is.... is there any software I use instead of the paper map ?

I have a PPC and tomtom 5....

Many thanks

It should be possible using Memory Map, to get the line of detection on the map you will need to walk along the heading, then create an extrapolated track, this will draw the line for you, repeat at the second location to find your tx unit - will be a fair bit of messing around to get it to work - not sure about a dedicated package for this though - mike
