Absolutely. With this compass you really can't be within 5-10 feet of
any large metallic object and expect good results. Walking 100' away
from the tower and shooting a back azimuth is the way to go.
However, it's usually good for 1 degree resolution if you know how to
use it.

Bill, have you had any issues with the tower itself causing "issues"
with the compass?

We use a Suunto precision compass for initial alignment
(http://www.suunto.com/en-US/Products/Compasses/Suunto-Tandem/Suunto-Tandem-360PC-360R-G-Clino-Compass/).
However, we will make adjustments based on signal levels we get at
the subscriber end.

Over the last year our "low-cost" digital compass has degraded to
the point of being unreliable and now useless. We have been
looking at a few of the obviously expensive options, Sunsight
AAT-30, 3Z Antena Aligner, Multiwave SmartAlign to rent. That
being said we are also looking for a less expensive, but more
accurate than standing in a field looking back at the antenna,
option to purchase. What are some of you using to accurately align
your AP sectors and do initial BH deployment?
Thanks,
