Vehicle Tracking Systems - Are They for You?

Bumper beepers, bird dogs, tracking systems, direction finders, homing devices - whatever name we know them by we're all talking about the same thing. Though the name is misleading (I'll explain later), around here we refer to the generic line of tracking systems as bumper beepers. Any tracking receiver can be confused by other antennas or objects on the same roof as its antennas. If possible, try to keep the roof of your car clear of other communications gear while you are involved in direction finding. Temporarily unscrew the CB antenna and your department's radio antenna if you can. Try to work off a portable for the duration of the surveillance. By the way, when you are temporarily removing antennas, unscrew and hide the microphone so you or somebody else doesn't accidentally transmit on a radio that is missing an antenna. If you're tracking from a vehicle that is equipped with a light bar, mount the antennas on top of it, or in front if you can't get on top for some reason.
