Radio Mobile Tutorial - How To Predict Ham Radio Coverage

[@Proc3000]

This video was awesome. I love how I can adjust it for varying antenna heights, etc and what a different antenna specs can do for my station. Also, the coverage is pretty damn accurate to what I get in the real world. Thanks for this video.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I was two way radio tech. GE had a slide rule style range calculator that worked quite well.

Cool!

Would this be open source? I'd like to check it out

Thanks for sharing I found it very helpful.. quick question can you print the map or save to a file to use on say qrz ?

Hello sir I am new to radio mobile I want to ask you if it is possible to enter the current elevation of my antenna because the plan is it will be located on a higher ground above sea level?

Thanks for sharing!

Hi thanks for the info...once i can see my coverage, how to know what antenna to use example 1/2, 1/4, 5/8 wave etc...thanks

[@K0LWC]

You need to input the dBi figures of both the TX/RX part of the equation. Make sure your dBI and HAAT are accurate for each. Look up your antenna specs to get the dBi figures.

Great video, learned a lot. How can I create a coverage map that shows a clear line of site from my main array to any other clear in line of site at another place? I am sending internet from one point to another and require a clean line of site, Does radio Mobile offer this?

[@eazypeazy6650]

u can create a link from your station to another u just need to mark the second place on the map and save it to your places....

Can’t use it in my ipad

What browser are you using and how old is your iPad? It works great on my iPad Pro with Safari.

[@sphandengraving5691]

@@K0LWC thanks for quick response. I’m using a iPad Pro 2 or so years old and I was using in Safari. It won’t allow me to use the map

[@K0LWC]

The map is touchy for me; you can have move it very lightly and not try and do big pans.

Once again, your outrageous popularity has wrecked things. I tried to sign up, and got a 500 error. Surely they've been knocked over by the ONSLAUGHT of new people showing up because you did a video about it. I wonder if KZbin's algorithm could perform a gradual release of your vids, so we don't all pounce on stuff all at once.
