    I am not the Author of this spectacular software, I have just provided an installer here plus additional data which will enable you to quickly obtain a working network, and then to explore the program features, and modify them to your own requirements...   Additional data is also available in my 'RM Handbook' and the 'Handbook Companion' tutorial text as shown below.

  Radio Mobile 

by  Roger Coudé, VE2DBE.

            Radio Mobile is a Free Radio Propagation simulation program which operates over the frequency range of 20MHz to 20GHz. It is based on the ITS (Longley-Rice) propagation model.

    The program enables elevation maps to be drawn of specified areas using downloaded SRTM data from the Space Shuttle Radar Terrain Mapping Mission, elevation contours and road maps to be added, and Radio Units (stations) specified for performance and placed where required.
 

    Individual Radio Unit performance is specified as a Radio Operating 'System' for power, sensitivity, antenna parameters etc. and all 'Radio Links' between Units can be examined for path profile and signal parameters.
 

    Signal coverage patterns can be produced for each separate Radio Unit if required. The 'Best Sites' to provide radio coverage to a number of specified Radio Unit locations can also be found by using the 'Find Best Sites' feature.
 

    The performance of a Radio Unit which is traversing a defined Route on the map can also be generated by the 'Route Radio Coverage' feature. It is also possible to use the 'Route' waypoint data with the 'Best Sites' feature, to find the best locations to provide full Route radio coverage.
 

    The 'Best Unit' from a defined selection of Units which gives the maximum signal level and also a defined Signal to Interference ratio at a specific location may also be plotted. The combined Radio coverage from a selected number of Units is also available. The sum of all signals from multiple Units at each location can also be plotted if required.

    By using the 'Combined Cartesian Coverage plots' you are able to produce field strength (dBµV/m) and signal plots (µV, dBm or S unit) over the map area from any Unit, and optionally provide a cursor location signal level readout by using the 'SIG'nal file feature.

and for an overview of the program features,

see 'An Introduction to Radio Mobile' from Radio Communication.

 

   

A Free on-line amateur version of the program has now been launched which can be accessed by any web browser, you can generate your own account and password for access and this removes the requirement to run Radio Mobile on your own computer. for information about this facility click below:

    Many new features have been added to the program since 2003. These enable much faster evaluations of radio networks and scenarios to be tested before trying out on the ground.

Practical Performance:

 April 2006:-  Site testing of locations generated by 'Find Best Sites' utilising the Waypoints used in the 'Route Radio Coverage' feature, showed an incredible consistency with the predicted performance!  This was confirmed during the two events covered by these UHF Repeater sites in April and May.
