If your current path loss calculator doesn't accomodate for terrain, you might give SPLAT! (http://www.qsl.net/kd2bd/splat.html) a try! You can download Digital Elevation Map (DEM) data from NASA for your region of interest to account for the effects of terrain. The current version doesn't account for things like antenna gains, but you can do it manually. The new version will have antenna gain compensation and Fresnel zone calculations, among other things. Good luck! Adam
