<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif">Using regular
radio for DFing a wifi transmitter is not such a good idea. The channels
overlap, higher data rate transmissions use spectrum spanning several
channels, and many stations transmit on the same frequency, so with a plain
received you will hear a cacophony of sounds, making it almost impossible to
find the station you're looking for. <BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif">You will get
much better results using a good wifi card with SMA connector (Alfa cards are
great for 2.4G band) with a directional external antenna and airmon-ng from
Aircrack-ng package to monitor signal strength for the station you are
interested in.</DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif">Don't buy
those cheap 2.4G yagis from ebay or amazon. They are junk. You'll get much
better results with a home-made cantenna, orheck Andrew Mcneil's channel on
youtube if you need some inspiration: <A

<DIV>WiFi features short packets. You can tune in on an access point
and hear the clicks. You could try with a highly directional yagi or
time of arrival rig.</DIV>
