  • Apparently the police operate from 850-860 mhz range and I could use adcock antenna to to get good accuracy and with their frequency being so high wavelength only has like 1% variance. I’m still locked into 2 SDRs for each antenna pairs in the adcock arrangement (I actually think I’d get 2 legitimate directions because SDRs can’t match phases). The tldr is adcock doesn’t play well with SDRs on paper

    I forgot what log-periodic antennas were. it would be better to use directional antenna on a swivel mount and record the highest amplitude at a given angle. As I add antenna I can pick designs with directionality and add sensitivity
