I have to do a heat map too. Perhaps a bullet would work with an omni, but still have to have software to correlate it with the GPS location etc.

Just stop at key points . remember when I first started testing Rocket 900s and I shared pictures of mast with Yagi's and m900 on mast on my red Silverado? Some on list even made fun of me. Didn't give a shit cause I was able to map out coverage area and get an accurate idea of range ,coverage and penetration. I still do surveys that way using NS and Bullets with grid antennas. I have a L bracket on my white Silverado for that purpose On Aug 14, 2015 9:12 AM, "Chuck McCown" <ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: What is the best way to do drive testing to document AP coverage. I need something that is very automated. I presume the vehicle would have to have an omni but they you would need to adjust the RX signal up by 20 dB to account for the use of a reflector. Would need a 5 GHz receiver or spectrum analyzer that will measure down to –100 dBm I would think. Have never been involved in something like this. I have used SMs for this but they are directional and not automated.
