Could someone walk me through getting a radiomobile setup for just one omni? The draw button it staying greyed out until I put in a second unit. As a startup I'm probably going to need to know how far i can estimate the signal from my house is going to go. I had another thread about a 15 mile nlos for two points but this just needs the one. Thanks! |

| Thanks.
Although after reading it I'm finding that you can't do any of the propogation estimates with only one unit. I guess I can put the other unit in the same spot only with no power running to it. Or maybe disabling it in the unit setup would work.
Thanks again for the link. |

Radio wave propogation is similar to the EPA estimates on gas mileage. You never really know until you get it out there and drive it. |

Crockett, TX | LOL, this is true.
But Radiomobile is fun to play with at the same time. |

^^^^^What both of them said...  ^^^^^
You do have to add the 2nd unit because it matters what the AP is shooting at.
What I would do is set a 2nd unit as a simulated client. I use the defaults of 15' agl (single story roof mount height) 50% tree coverage (however 75% may be closer to reality for typical rural areas), and pick a CPE that you would plan to use and use the manufacturer's specs.
You can test what I mean by setting this up and then change the antenna on the client side. Your coverage area will change as a result.
Have fun....
