Yes, but the _locator_ doesn't need to send a signal. It's just like a
radio, and you don't receive a radio station better because you have a
bigger radio...

That's an idea, though it implies that these kinds of devices have a
built-in ECCM, in which case they're too cheap (as ECCM normally adds
1,000Y to the price per rating point -- but for 1,000Y you can buy a rating
5 signal locator).
