The calculations for pointing and rain are shown here. Both the ITU and Crane
rain models are included, and automatic rain zone selection is an option.
Sky Conditions also allow for the increase in Earth Station G/T due
to Cloud Cover, based on an ITU Model.
For
the purist, the automatic selection can be suppressed through the touch of a
button to get into manual mode.
Coordinates can be derived from a manual input by the user, a database of
cities, or a link to the site module.
