Re: [AFMUG] Fresnel scope?

Right and since you know the frequency and total path distance, if you used a laser range finder to put the spot on an obstruction you would know that distance and could calculate the size of the zone at that obstruction distance. Might be able to do some Pythagorean math on the other side of

Anybody every toyed with making some kind of fresnel scope for installers? Like a rangfinder with a red, orange, yellow, and green opaque overlay that you dial your freq and range and it adjusts the rings? Having been doing the installers job for almost a year and seeing the "gap in the trees"
