WispMon Pro has a phone app that will tell you distance and bearing to
any of the towers in your database from your current location and plot
it for you on a map. We are toying with making the app available for a
small price to the general public, but it will need some mods so you
can enter your tower locations manually and store them in a local
file/db on the phone. Hit me offlist if you are interested and we'll
try to get it out quicker if there is a big show of hands.

Actually not true in many cases.
If the distance is really long beyond site, such as
20-30miles, I'd agree. But if say LOS within 10 miles or so on
a clear day, its pretty easy.
After our tech eye balls the alignment, I'll usually have the
tech do a fine align just in case we can improve it. BUt 9 out
of 10 times, it was not necessary and maybe we'll gain a half DB.
The secret to aligning dishes is to look through the feed hole
before the feed is screwed in. (for example PAC wireless
parabolic dish). You then home in on the far side area aiming
for, positionioned in cetner of hole, and make sure the Ring
around the hole appears equal size all around to verify it
is aligned. Because the hole has metal around it that has
DEPTH, maybe 1/4-1/2 inch, you can see the depth of this
inside surface all around the hole.
As matter of fact, if we dont get our link budget acheieve and
we need to trouble shoot why, we check cables first, because
the odds of having a bad cable is higher than the tech getting
the first alignment attempt wrong.
Panels are harder to align, because looking from the side.
Sure it can be harder to align a big dish with radome that
does not have a removable feed.

That's not realistically possible. You would have to be
extraordinarily lucky to align that first dish without
having any measurements.

I'm trying to have 1 crew and not do the 2nd trip to
the first tower.

You would need more people then. You can't align
the dish without both radios being powered.
You could do two 3 man crews, one at each site.
Both install at the same time and they should
finish around the same time frame. Align before
coming down at all.

It looks like for around $150 you could get
binoculars with a built in magnetic compass
that you see through the binoculars. Could you
use the binoculars to find an object on the
horizon on the right azimuth and then point
the dish there?

Question: What tools do you use to blindly
put up the first end of a ptp without having
a visual on the other side?
Details:
When deploying ptp dishes... One team doing
both ends at different times.
The first dish must be aligned without a
connecting radio at the other end.
We know how to get uptilt/downtilt/azimuth
from Radio Mobile.
Uptilt/downtilt is easy to do with a simple
gauge. Azimuth is a different story. If you
can see the site that you're aiming for, no
big deal, but what if you can't?
We have a number of backhaul upgrades to do
in the next few months, and we have alot of
fog here in the mornings this time of year.
