im doing -70 to -50 off each of the two end points trying to get to where good overlaps produce a certain color, but messing with the pallete isnt working as expected im not sure how to edit the antenna patterns, Id prefer to just do an arc rather than a full omni, there isnt any real gain in this other than it being pretty in the event we find a structure that wont allow a single midpoint we will just overlay that pattern to find a second location
i would prefer to just dray the 5-10 mile band, but i dont know if that can be configured the way i want it to, that once again is just for pretty the long term goal is to build out in 5-8 mile increments to be able to stay lower power and cheaper antennas if we license the hops On Fri, Feb 3, 2017 at 9:35 AM, <ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: > I do two coverage maps on the same picture.
