Daniel, Most professionals use Pathloss..... Most if not all commercial carriers use Pathloss.... I've been engineering Paths for 8 years and swear by it. Its worth it.... Knowing how to use it properly is priceless.
I'm not in here much any more because some of the members like to go against the grain and try to re-invent the wheel with their "profound knowledge" and lack of experience. Pathloss is a winner. I've used it over the yrs to design networks in over 10 major US markets. 100-400 paths per market. Its a great product. You will need to know how to use a GPS. The software ( Pathlosss ) is a great tool but it should be used in coordination with a process of " eyes on/ hands on ". Nothing is more valuable than Driving the path and terrain to see what the software is showing you on paper. The software isn't going to show things like new construction. It isn't going to show you that 80' tree sitting on the highest terrain feature blocking your path with gear at 60' on the tower/rooftop.
