General Radio Discussion / Re: Kiwi TDoA Direction Finding Increases SW Pirate Institutional Paranoia Levels

I was waiting for someone to post about this.
It likely won't change anything directly related to enforcement activity but as we know, the authorities tend to work from information given to them and I suppose it might give extra information to someone inclined to report a station for one reason or another and that could get passed on to the authorities.
I have been using it a bit this week on the Kiwi network and I will point out that it's not exactly a "turn-key" or "fire and forget" system - it's not as simple for "the unwashed masses" as driving an automobile yet. I figured out some rules of thumb to increase likelihood of tight convergence through trial and error and I bet a lot of people who aren't as much of an introverted geek as me won't have the patience.
