I have an old RDF from my boating days. https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/electr...eafix_200.html
I have been thinking if it would be possible to use it as a RDF to locate interference. It may work well as it is on the current frequency range of about 150kHZ to 500kHz picking up harmonics from the source of the interference.
But I have been wondering if it could be converted so it could be tuned to the specific frequency of the interference.
Can anyone recommend a simple and small scanner type kit that could be tuned to cover from 1MHz to 500MHz.
It could maybe coupled to the internal ferrite rod with a loop of wire.

Thanks
Mike
