Fixed and mobile RFI search facilities at the Medicina radio astronomy station are described. A complex system of wide-band antennas that can be steered, has been designed and installed on the top of a 25-m high tower and connected with a wide-band sweeping receiver system. At present it works from 0.08 GHz up to 2.5 GHz in continuous mode. Low-noise front ends are used in the radio astronomy bands. A mobile system, equipped with a similar receiving system, has been designed to facilitate the interfering transmitter's position localization.
