If that is one mile away, and the antenna is mounted at 100 feet, 100/5280. = .189 Hit the ARCTAN button or the inverse TAN button and we get 1 degree of downtilt. TAN = Rise over Run. Arctan = degrees of Rise/Run To me that is easier and quicker than going on line and finding a calculator web page etc. With an HP calculator it is 3 key strokes in addition to the numbers.

There has to be an easier way then using math and my brain every time. Best regards, Brandon Yuchasz GogebicRange.net www.gogebicrange.net <http://www.gogebicrange.net/>
