I was never able to produce a particular color, but I just wanted a quick 
visible indication of where a repeater would work.

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

  I do two coverage maps on the same picture.  I use rainbow (heat map) and dbm 
and set it to range from –50 to –90.
  Do one coverage map from one location.  Then when it is painting the second 
map, possible repeater locations show up as dark or black squares.

  coverage, to identify areas where typical structures would be beneficial for 
mid point repeater sites. In this particular project 75 foot grain legs. So we 
only send out drivers to an area that that would be. 

  I dont recall if clutter maps are at all accurate, and havent been able to 
get that data to show up in the propagation or if thats just limited to ptp

    Are you asking about PtP or a coverage map?

    i used to do this all the time, now i cant remember how. Im plotting for 
midpoint scouting. I need to put it on a kml for the guy to go to the target 
areas marking structures. being able to interact in google earth is a 
requirement and there are other specifics 

    if i recall correctly there was an google earth update that was going to 
break the kmz overlay option, but that was a long time ago
