Right, the AP isn't directly at the client, but it says there's only 0.8 db of loss due to that. It says I lose 7.4 dB due to obstruction (when I have a 1.4 Fresnel zone) and 6.6 due to statistics. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Messa

And RM uses the terrain data to determine which Fresnal zones impact the signal. Raise or lower one antenna in 1 m increments and see the difference. Most of the other programs I have seen just use the distance, they show different values than does RM. Brian Webster wrote: Radio Mobile is n

Radio Mobile is not doing a simple free space loss calculation. There will be a fade margin factored in based on the numbers you use for mode of variability. If you open the path profile window then do a "view" "details" you will get a text window that shows all the calculation details the program

How do I figure out how Radio Mobile arrives at it's signal level? On a 3 km link in 5 GHz, I'm off 15 - 20 db from Eje's power calculator. What the radio link window says is really close to the input numbers for Eje's calculator. Why they're different is that I actually used the right antenn
