PathCheck is an RF planning tool which aids in the design of point-to-point microwave links, based on Trango Systems lineup of backhaul radios. The application provides two handy tools including Quick Calc which provides point-to-point link and reliability calculations based on distance, frequency, antenna size, and rain region.
