Yes I'm a WISP newbie. We have an agreement with a cellular provider to put out antennas on their tower that is next to ours. The tower is almost twice as big as the one I have now, and our gear will be located at the top. I have all my elevations, and azimuths for the different tower locations we need to point at. I was wondering if there was a calculator out there that would allow me to figure out the new down angles. Thanks, Pat WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Does anybody have a calculator to determine antenna downangle?
Use the signal meters built into the radios. Aim the dishes at the strongest signal and be done with it. Most antennas don't actually seem to point exactly at the other end anyway. The calculations get you close, finish it up with measurements. What dishes and radios are you using? I assume these are for ptp links? marlon - Original Message - From: Pat O'Connor [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: wireless@wispa.org Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 10:00 AM Subject: [WISPA] Does anybody have a calculator to determine antenna downangle?
