Never mind, you said sectors. Those you can guess at.

I was working on an electronic version of my accu-aim scope a few years ago.
I discovered that no matter how far I extended the flux gate sensor, any tower
of decent size threw it off. Best to use a hand held GPS at the base of the
the tower and start walking. After a few tries you will find the correct
heading. Note some kind of landmark and aim for that.
Elevation be derived dead on with a cheap digital level. If you have the
elevation nailed and the heading/bearing close, you should be able to find it
with a bit of sweeping.

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,
