That's more or less what I was thinking. I figured if I use a variety
of light colors and give them a little transparency then the areas of
concern would be readily apparent.
If towercoverage.com does it with one click then it's less tedious though.

You can do this with radio mobile fairly easily. The key is to create
separate RF plots for each sector. Once that is done you place the RF
plots for each sector in Google Earth but create separate folders that
are organized by channel/frequency. Only the sector plots for any
frequency channel go in that folder. You can then just turn on a whole
folder to see all the RF plots for your network on that specific
channel/frequency. If you have to change a frequency for a sector you
just move that sector plot from the old channel folder to the new
channel folder without having to run a new propagation (unless you
have to move it to a lower power channel).
This doesn’t work well if you create an Omni plot that represents all
of your sectors on a particular tower site.
Thank You,

I'd love to see an example of what this looks like, or how it can tell
me where potential interference is.

Yep, just put in the exact freq of each sector, on your coverages,
then in your multi-map, you can choose frequency coordination, and
it will show the beams of each one in a separate color. Etc. The
max distance under coverage shows the distance and the antenna
beam width for the antenna that you select is the width. J

We already use radio mobile and Tower coverage.com
<http://coverage.com> but are not really using it for channel
planning purposes it shows us propagation but I've never tried to
use it to show channel layouts that's what I'm really looking more for

Radiomobile - free
Linkplanner is getting really valuable - free
towercoverage.com <http://towercoverage.com> - questionable
but web based advanced implementation of radiomobile, with
lots of options - can get expensive

What do you guys use for planning out tower sector RF
?? We have always been a Cambium FSK shop and never
really had to worry much about self interference. Now
with FSK end of life and we are installing a lot more
UBNT M series, we need to think more about RF planning
than we used to. Suggestions?
