Looking for a free Microwave path calculator for 6 GHz. use

[Jim202]

Have lost my old standby microwave path calculator and am in need of a simple way to check out several 6 GHz. paths. Have run across a couple, but they either won't let me use them at 6 GHz. or they won't let me put in the waveguide losses, the transmitter gains, receiver gains and dish gains. They do seem to allow entry of Lat. and Log. to figure out path length and directions.

Any one have any suggestions?

You could try Cambium's (formerly Mot Canopy) Link Planner. Just register, and then download.

Went there and it is currently not available. No indication on when it will be available. One down side to their software is that it doesn't let you input TX power or receiver sensitivity. You have ti pick from their limited selection of models. That limits you on how flexible it is to trying to use it with other vendor radios.

If you just want a path study, and nor necessarily an accurate rsl at the band, use Radio Mobile.

Thanks, I will try it when I am awake.
