How triangulation works is that it measures the direction of radio waves from two to three points to locate the radio signal. The benefit of using triangulation to trace a two way radio transmission is that it only needs to measure the radio transmitters to pinpoint a location.

You take a directional antenna (like a yagi), and rotate it until the received transmission is strongest. Mark your location on a map, and draw a line along the bearing of the antenna. This is the direction in DFing. Now move to another location, the further away, the more accurate your triangulation will be.

Absolutely! It's an old technique called direction-finding. Ham radio operators sometimes do it for fun in what's called a ?fox hunt? where they need to locate a hidden transmitter. Using directional antennas and signal strength equipment you can triangulate a signal with a simple handheld radio.

If you can receive the signal, you can triangulate it, even if that signal is being transmitted by a directional antenna system. The reason why that is possible is that directional antennas do not send out infinitely-narrow spots of radiation.

Are walkie talkies traceable? All radio signals are traceable. But a weak signal is harder to trace, because you need to get neareo the source to hear it. A moving signal is harder to trace.

Yes by a method called triangulation. You need certain equipment, a highly directional antenna, a receiver and a map. You point the antenna toward the signal and record the heading where the signal from the transmitter is the strongest.

The most efficient way to achieve this is through 24/7 spectrum monitoring using automated wideband interference detection equipment. One such solution is to use an RF receiver that triggers an alarm if unrecognized signals are detected.
