Radio Direction

[rpd5127]

I am looking for a small handheld or vehicle mounted system for radio signal direction detection. Basically I want to locate the source for a radio signal (173.075). I want some form of display to show me the direction and the signal strength to guide me to it. Any ideas?

Thanks,

You looking for your own Lo-Jack setup like those in police cars? Basically, they're not sold to the public, but are all owned by Lo-Jack and loaned to the police. They are found at times on e-bay, but are quite expensive and often the auction is taken down prior to completion at Lo-Jack (or their lawyers) request.

Please see this thread for some additional info --> Lo-Jack
