I already know this....what I was getting at, is let's suppose someone who doesn't have a ham license, buys a ham radio at a garage sale or whatever, and decides to get on the air and start making noises, or cussing, etc. with the intent to upset anyone else on the air.

Or even worse, a ham that decides to be a pest over the air and irritate people, decides to not give his call sign and instead would rather issue verbal threats (radio rambo)....

If it's a 1 time deal or whatever, then as some of you have said, unless he's transmitting, good luck hunting him down. I would have thought in this day and age, there was some sort of computer tracking device that hooked to your ham radio, that when detected a receive into your radio, could geographically pinpoint where someone was transmitting from.
