Daily measures of the disk integral 2.8 GHz solar flux from the years 1947 through 1982 are analyzed to determine the detectability of stellar differential rotation using the tracer method. Autocorrelation and power spectral analyses of 1 yr data sets yield rotation periods whose scatter about the mean period is too large to permit detection of the expected differential rotation signal. The principal noise source is the random appearance of tracer regions on the solar surface, in time and longitude. Criteria are given for optimizing stellar observations and analyses to detect differential rotation.
