How The KrakenSDR Located Our Repeater Jammer In 1 Hour. Overview of the KrakenRF Inc. RF Locator

[@TheNotaRubicon]

You can learn more about the KrakenSDR system at their website, here: www.krakenrf.com UPDATE: The jammer has been confronted, and the jamming from that location has stopped.

There's more to the story here I imagine. You've left us with more questions then answers. I think there's probably more you can tell us in an update video without disclosing the person's identity. Motive would be interesting if you could tell us why. Angry ex? Bored kid with dad's equipment? Jeep club rivalry!? What in the world would motivate someone to be so persistent! To me it makes no sense.

Nice! I’m very glad that you gave us this update - I’ve been very curious about how that worked. But . . . I am so glad that you stopped this guy - it was a HUGE pain on Delta with that clown jamming it all the time. Thank you, the GMRS team and the Happy Ham!

[@Dixy3]

Great result, well done, everyone 👏. I am just ordering a KrakenSDR and 5 antennas for myself. One trick the military taught me was whilst the jamming station are transmitting is to switch our radio from normal mode to CW, the electronic circuits of the jamming station will be broadcasting a certain electronic tone, that tone can be used as evidence in a court of law, no other tuned circuit will make the exact same sound.

[@jnelson16701]

I loved the story. It was intense. I was sitting on the edge of my sofa the whole time. And then you found him. I was so happy to hear that. But then you ended the story. You didn't tell us what happened to that Jammer. Did you take him out? Is he swimming with the fishes now? Did he get arrested? Did the FCC raid his house? Is there going to be a sequel to this video? You know, Randy... even the old Dragnet show told us what happened to the bad guys at the end of each episode. Jack Webb would be so disappointed with you if he was alive today. :)

[@mrw1160]

He sent him a very rude letter which made him sad so he stopped.

[@ronmoore6598]

What I was thinking as well. and this vid is over a year old so I guess no outcome is forthcoming.

[@nottelling6598]

You might want to just make a cheap wooden mounting board to hold it that can be mounted on a luggage rack. Then you could even swap it between vehicles without worrying about the transmitters moving out of alignment. You'd need to be careful to fasten it properly, but you could just use the same fabric straps you'd use for any other luggage.

[@autoadjuster]

We have a jammer on a local repeater here in NY, we know who he is and where he lives. He is a convicted jammer and had (at the time) the largest fine ever placed on an individual by the FCC. He never paid it and continues to jam. I spoke with an agent with the FCC, he said they have to catch them in the act, also said they do not have enough staff. Also said he will just keep doing it even after getting another fine, there is no jail time for jammers. I know how to stop him, I just don't want to go to jail.

[@grigorirasputin5020]

Spoof his phone number and call the head of a local street gang. Tell them what you think of them and be sure to include ethnic slurs appropriate to the gang contacted. Tell them you live at (his address) and you doubt they have the spherical or ovoid objects necessary to "come here and do something about it". 😄

[@volvo09]

That's where people have to send warnings... Nothing wrong with placing repeated letters in the mailbox. I'd get a bit more local if it didn't stop, maybe shining a flashlight in the window when he keys up to really show you are on to him.

[@donalddodson7365]

#Rj Greek About 2005 I asked one our Regional Auto Theft Taskforce (RATT) Investigators about LoJack in San Diego, CA (aka Alta California). He told about a day he was working San Ysidro along the Border. He got a really strong "hit." Just across the border in Mexico was the stolen SUV. Now it had a red and blue light bar on the roof and an official looking emblem on the door. Amazing, but true. Maybe that has all changed now ...

Lojack uses a doppler direction finder. It works on a different principle. The Kraken is a synchronous phase comparator.

I am not a HAM / Armature Radio person but I enjoyed your story and hunt. Can you please explain jamming (what it does) and lay out what actions were taken once you located and identified the person? Did the FCC get involved or did you handle it on a lower level? Thank you.

[@TheNotaRubicon]

Jamming is when an immature person uses their radio to prevent others from talking/using their radios. We confronted the jammer, and the jamming from his location has stopped. The FCC does not care about things like this.

[@roybiv7018]

Jamming is transmitting on the same frequency and same mode (think AM or FM) to override another transmission. Example: Billy and Jenny have toy walkie talkies and live 6 houses apart. Kenny lives closer to Billy and whenever he hears Jenny talk, he talks too (or just makes fart noises) so then Billy hears flatulence more than he hears Jenny. That is jamming. Jamming a repeater (as in this story) is a bit different, but the idea of transmitting to deny use of the frequency to others is the same.

[@arbitraryuser]

No, make sure you have like 10 different locations.

Since this video, I have watched several others. It turns out HAM clubs often have fox hunts for fun. The one that drives the least miles and finds the fox wins. They are mostly using a yaggie antenna and a HT to determine the direction and then triangulating. Interesting.

If you're a jerk on the radio waves, you will be caught. It's just a matter of time before people catch you.
