Spoiler Alert!!!!
Just got to the quest where you have to find the raider traitor after you meet back at HQ to find Jammer and Ophelia listing to the minuteman holotapes. Ophelia make the scanning device and you have to scan the raiders to find the audio equipment.
No matter how long and i think!!! i scanned everyone (including the doggies, maul, the overgrown bears etc), the scanner does not find the raider. (Just watched lets play again to check i was doing it right).
I have reloaded twice. Went back a save or two and played through again, but cannot seem to progress.
I have noticed that if i have gamma ammo it will fires as if a normal gamma gun. (have not tried on enemies, but does not seem to affect raiders in HQ).
I went back a save and without using ammo, at first handling i get required ammo missing prompt.
I though maybe script lag so went to sleep for a day or more. But when i try to use the scanner i do not get the beeping tones.
I then went back to an earlier save and before heading back to HQ spent several i game days hunting for meat. But back at HQ still cannot find naughty raider.
I have no extra mods that modify guns. Just mostly ss,cq and ss addon packs.
Has anyone else had similar problems? Can anyone help me advance the stage?
Thanks in advance.
 
I was able to get the quest to progress to the point where a traitor was detected by a) tuning my radio to Ophelia's special frequency b) aiming the scanner (hold down right mouse button, without any ammo) at each of my crew in the HQ (Starlight Drive-In for me). Eventually there was a hiss of static when I aimed at one of the raiders and the quest progressed to "Tell Jammer who the traitor is".
Strangely, at this point, Jammer, Maul and Ophelia are all gathered outside Diamond City at the front gate, but will not reply when spoken to, nor does any cutscene happen. If anyone can post a workaround or explain how this quest is supposed to progress, it would be much appreciated!
Update: several in-game days after this, Jammer appeared back in the HQ, and when I approached him, the cutscene triggered where my character told him who the traitor was. After that the quest progressed to completion. Hopefully eventually your quest will also catch up given enough time.
