If you are able to actively trigger the rptr then a simple df and rx plus a
few minutes looking will surely be a close to the location result ?

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Motorola MTR2000 Question
Problem is that they are licensed for 3 freqs. 2 UHF and 1
VHF and I have confirmed that they are running on all three of them. Its just
know a matter of cat and mouse on the third repeater location. As there is no
one that works here anymore that knows where the radios are all located expect
the 2 at the high school football field.
In fact the bus repeater as listed on its license is supposed to be located
right in the middle of the intersection of a state highway and a US highway
that runs through our town, while the GPS listed on the same license shows it
to be about 20 miles south of that location in the middle of a cow pasture.
Will keep seeking, thanks for the help and input.
