I’m just following the rules of the community and this has. Been on my mind for the past few days . I used to be able to listen into law enforcement and even automated the process but they upgraded their system and encrypted their system.

Now I’m theorizing how I can track law enforcement different ways one of which is using a direction finding system. i could super technical and order a bunch of parts and have a desktop running all the time or I can try to dumb it down with analog composition.

I think it’s cool that you can add AC with a ring of iron and winding wires in a specific way (the other way will subtract it)

    unrelated to your post, Brave’s founder is a transphobic bigot who left Mozilla over being a bigot. Give Cromite a shot (or IronFox if you’re feeling adventurous)

    jesse, what the fuck are you talking about. you can’t make efficient antenna for UHF using power transformer toroid

        Transformers in antennas are just transformers, but you have to use ceramic cores (ferrites) that would be right for your band. I think that what you might be trying to do would be wideband antenna of some sort, but for UHF which is likely in this case, I’d recommend you some kind of log-periodic antenna instead (it just works, directional) or some kind of spiral antenna (it just works, nondirectional). You can make both of these at home

    You don’t “add AC”, the power in the circuit is exactly the same, if you double the voltage you halve the current, its not magic!!!

      I should say constructive interfer inside the core of the transformer. I would only care about voltage because I want to hook up my antenna to an adr to scan multiple frequencies.
