Not BTB -- a tracking signal's Flux is based on its rating, so they're just
as powerful transmitters as almost anything else of their rating. But yes,
I understand what you mean.

It would certainly help if rules for this would appear in SR3, though.
Okay then, assuming this is what the rating is for, how would it actually
be _used_? I'm thinking that the locator needs to roll a test to find the
signal you've tuned it onto. What should the TN be, though? My thought
is the Flux rating that goes with the range between the signal and the
locator -- for example, at 4 km (under perfect conditions), the TN would be
3, at 2 km it's TN 2, at 1 km it's TN 1, etc. The Flux rating of the signal
itself determines the maximum range at which it can be detected at all.
