Thank you for the quick comeback on this!
Regarding DFing it, you tagged my main fear/issue-- being broadband RFI,
with no signature, will it very difficult to correlate it on the mobile
rig... I think I may start, by driving around the area, and taking S
meter readings, then put them on a map, then draw contour lines. That
may help me get closer, and avoid the mis-correlations that I am sure
will happen...
Thanks for the images, I can see I need to get the real spectrum
analyzer (as opposed to the P3), out and connect it to the antenna and
wait... I am seeing something sweep like mad upon startup, and I
suspect it is the same device... I will see if I can grab a start up
image tonight on the P3.
I think I will wait to do this for a few days and pin down the start/end
times better first...
Do you know if these infernal devices have any output on 2 Meters? If
so, is it broadband or is there something I might latch on to? I could
wait for the startup/end, and see once I suspect a location I guess.
I suspect DFing this one will take some time...
