Hmm... it's an interesting idea. Currently the splat analysis is raster data, but I think there is some way to have it calculate vector data. Might be easier to run the raster analysis through a line tracer. I'd love to see this done with radar data too. This sounds more like something ab9rf is working on, I may run this idea by her to see what she thinks of it. She's taking the splat analysis in a direction more like what you're talking about - calculating repeater coverage by gridsquare using Longley-Rice (sp?) propo > With the above info in a database, it may be easier to just have > the user enter their location on a web page and get back an > estimation of what repeaters will likely be reachable given > their power/antenna characteristics. > > This is effectively what Kelly is doing, by pre-calculating coverage per gridsquare. So a simple 6-digit gridsquare query would return repeaters reachable calculated on PHG calculations. The problem, as usual, is that our position data is for the most part just city and state geocoded through the google maps API. 73, Tom, K5EHX _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
