It was inevitable that it would come to this when some decide following the law is optional. Best thing to do is notify the FCC of the violation. If they get involved it will likely be too late to help your immediate problem, however it would likely help in the long run. Giving up on the process doesn't help anyone.

Analyzing the FCC database was a waste of time for me. I simply called all other wireless operators in the area and confirmed their frequencies. That also lead to a dead end. I ended up swapping frequencies and calling it a day.

Youre better off going out with a cheap ubnt in SA mode and drive sourcing it, but what good will it do, even if its an unregistered base station, you have no fcc recourse.

My 320 AP sees a -79 on the exact channel I've been using for a few years. Not sure exactly when it showed up. If it was a base station antenna pointed at my base station antenna, then it could be up to 40km away. So I do a geo search in ULS for NN licenses with a location within 40km. It shows me 5 license holders who each have many locations.....it doesn't actually tell me which locations triggered the search hit. So I'm thinking I could spend hours putting every location in Google Earth to see where they land.....and I could pre-filter locations where the lat/long looks way too far off. That's still going to take hours, and if they didn't register their location anyway then it might end up being a waste of time. Is there a way to see which locations matched the 40km search RADIUS rather than seeing only the license holder and having to look through a zillion locations for each one? If so, I'm not seeing it....please tell me I'm missing it. -- All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you.
