Kinematic pole measurement
Posted By Dave Huff on 1/7/2002 at 12:41 AM

Ok, it has been quite a while since I had the opportunity to use the kinematic kit (48gx) and the 2 meter pole.
Since the advent of Solutions 2.4 and its' new features, my question is "what do you input into the 48gx for the pole height" when using the 2 meter pole. Is it just 2 meters? Is it 2 meters plus the offset of the Locus?
I posed this question to Richard Phelan when 2.4 came out, but forgot what we decided on if anything.
And I KNOW J.D. has had to have done it lately.

Sorry for the double post, just another feature of webtv.

Dave

Because of the new antennae parameters in 2.4 I believe you just input the pole height.

You get to choose. Use Slant height if you measure the slant distance to the side of the antenna. Use vertical if you measure the length of the pole to the ARP.
