Dunno. Like I said, I've never used towercoverage.com. I was just
making some assumptions based on what Josh was saying.

Aren't they just computing them as a PtP each time a CPE is placed?

The limitation you're seeing of having to add another site to change
the rx elevation is because calculating path loss to one point is
relatively easy. Calculating it for the entire coverage area takes a
fair amount of computing power, to the point that even on really fast
hardware, it needs to be done ahead of time and cached. So, there's
no "dynamically" changing the elevation of your plot. At best, they
could pre-plot and cache a series of rx elevations and let you select
from those choices. But if they let you have 4 choices (say 10, 15,
25, 35ft AGL), that would quadruple the amount of data they have to
store for your (and potentially everyone's) coverage maps.
Suffice it to say, the problem is non-trivial. I use Splat! instead
of RadioMobile or towercoverage.com, but the algorithm and
computational complexity is the same (they all use Longley Rice, last
time I checked).
The only thing I've seen that comes close to what you're asking was
the guy doing near-real time viewshed magic, but I haven't heard or
seen anything from him since WISPAPALOOZA 2012.

Signals don't change as you increment heights. You're asking
for real time foliage mapping. Not going to find it.

I'm not talking about customers plotting where their

called in, I'd like to just punch in the location and then
see if they'll work at ground level or how high we need to
get off the ground and see the signal change as I
increment height.

I'm having a hard time adjusting to this from
Radio Mobile. There's all the same "stupid"
interface shortfalls, for example wanting to know
what a customer's CPE would be without adding a
site and putting them in the same list. I feel
with technology as it is, it shouldn't be so
convoluted to simply put a dot on a map and see
what the signal would be from a tower while being
able to adjust the elevation on the fly.
I'm wondering if there's another list/forum for
this service, too. There's no way I'm going write
a bible of questions for support, it doesn't make
a whole lot of sense for either of us.
