Help - Building a siginal direction and distiance locator

[wac]

Hello All, I am looking to build a siginal direction and distance locator. Basically what i would like to do is track down siginals interfering with my wireless video system.

I know that i will need a reciever that is in-tune with whatever frequency i am working. and i would like to use a 4 led light display in a cross pattern(one on top, bottom, left and right). What i am not sure about is how will i gage the incoming frequency and send that signal to the correct led display.

If you can help me in building a working model, i will send you the complete plans in building this gadget

thank you

I remember tracking down CB radio sources. We had a special circular antenna. We'd rotate it around until we had a string signal. We'd then draw a line on a map through our position in that direction. We’d then drive to a new location and do it all again. In theory, with good enough equipment, we’d only need two lines to triangulate on a position. In practice it took 4 or more to find the source. Lotta fun for tracking down other CBers.

I’d imagine you’d have to do something similar.
