You can do this with radio mobile fairly easily. The key is to create separate RF plots for each sector. Once that is done you place the RF plots for each sector in Google Earth but create separate folders that are organized by channel/frequency. Only the sector plots for any frequency channel go in that folder. You can then just turn on a whole folder to see all the RF plots for your network on that specific channel/frequency. If you have to change a frequency for a sector you just move that sector plot from the old channel folder to the new channel folder without having to run a new propagation (unless you have to move it to a lower power channel).
This doesn’t work well if you create an Omni plot that represents all of your sectors on a particular tower site.

Yep, just put in the exact freq of each sector, on your coverages, then in your multi-map, you can choose frequency coordination, and it will show the beams of each one in a separate color. Etc. The max distance under coverage shows the distance and the antenna beam width for the antenna that you select is the width.

We have always been a Cambium FSK shop and never really had to worry much about self interference. Now with FSK end of life and we are installing a lot more UBNT M series, we need to think more about RF planning than we used to. Suggestions?
