Design & test RF links

I work in the Water Industry were we use radio links for telemetry/SCADA purposes. In order to find a viable link, a desktop study is completed using “path profile” applications which is backed up by an actual on site radio test. Any help in the form of webinars, paperwork or courses would be most welcome.

The L_R model is well respected, but uses a sort of average roughness figure for terrain, so gets fooled by mountain ranges in planes and so on.
algorithm detail here.

for most of the UK it will get you close.
