please find cordinates for the PTP Link which is the using R5H cards on RB433 which type of antenna would you recomend
coordinates Site 1 ( 3°44’11.00"S 39°50’40.00"E) This is a New Tower 95 Meters from the Ground,
Site 2 (4° 3’45.05"S 39°40’18.96"E) Is a building 80 meters. Can anybody extrapolate on radio mobile and show me the viability of the link
George
Terrain Navigator will do it for $99. It’s worth having.

terrain Navigator does not have the maps for this area just like radio mobile does not have terrain maps for all locations
This is a really fast analysis. I don’t have your maps, so I wouldn’t be able to do it with RM. However, IMHO, I consider having good estimate calculation. This seem to be around a 41 KM link, not a 46.7 KM ![]()
On the other hand, I would recommend using a parabolic antenna (HG5833D - http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=20603 ). You would have a good fade margin and stable(+/- 20 ~ 22 dBm)
Regards & good luck George !
Edit: Well it really depends on what you’re looking for transmission rate; I suggest maintaining a good fade margin anyways. You could also use something like: http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=20602 or lastly this type of antenna http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=10041.


Thank you, which link calculator did you use. And since you do not have the Maps there s a posibility of a Hill, Mountain In between the two points. In the link calculator you have input site A 311.68 meters and site B 262.47 meters the height of site A ( Cement Factory tower) is about 90 meters and same for site B ( 15 storey building)
Ligowave’s online calculator (you have to register first). I don’t think you have a big hill in between. Something happened with the calc, I didn’t notice it was on meters. Instead of meters those are feets. You said that tower A is 95 meters which is equal to 311.68 feets and on side B was 80 meters which is equal to 262.47 feets. Again, I use this calculator for fast link analysis taking into account that this is a rough calculation (just to give you an idea) ![]()
