Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Propogation Prediction
Key word ... resolution. I'm use to working with tighter resolutions in mapping than ten foot. The maps I saw in the demo pages were verry grainey not much details. 100 mile resolutions are verry gross n grainy. How can one see contures at 100m? or 30miles? Can the program use DRGs for mapping? I did see the VDENs mapping but still cant much. Ed Buley, Kenneth L (GE Consumer Industrial) wrote: 10 foot resolution ? That's kind of hard to predict unless you're standing next to the antenna. Those other parameters are necessary to predict ANYTHING. Kind of like asking a meteorologist if it's going to rain. His answer will definitely be YES. But that means it could rain ANYWHERE on ANY DAY in ANY AMOUNT. If you want to know specific details, you have to provide SOME limiting, specific information. Cable loss, antenna types, tower height, etc., all affect propogation, so that info is needed to predict what the propogation MAY be. The presence of other towers may mean that the tower owners could only afford that location, propogation not withstanding.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Propogation Prediction
How does it work? Is it like CETs as in looking down and seeing a probable footprint?
