I've got a local repeater somewhere nearby on 145.790 that prevents me from hearing the ISS downlink. I can't find the frequency listed ... Is there a better way to find an individual repeater?
Sure, it is trivial and you do not need any DF equipment, just your mobile and an HT and a little time. These techniques work with any FM radio. Please see the Dfing web page:

Although the page is titled APRS Dfing.. None of the techniques need APRS. APRS is only being used here as a convenient map for visualizing your data.
I would think that with a little driving and if you can keep the repeater up, then it should be easy to find.
