Unit conversion
Submitted by afritzinger on Wed, 2008-04-23 14:24.
Am I missing the options where you can change unit measure?
Meters to feet
dBu to dBm or uV
they were very easy to manipulate in ComStudy, haven't been able to figure out how to change them in Radio Compass

The general default unit in RadioCompass is metric. We will put in a switch for this to English units (feet/miles).
To convert any single field, simply type in the unit to be converted, i.e., 50 feet or 50 ft will convert to 15.24 m when tabbing out of the input field. With the general default switched, you'll be able to convert from meters to feet the same way, but that is a couple of weeks away.
Field strength conversions are a bit trickier, as RC is not constrained by band the way ComStudy is, and dBm (among others) is a frequency-dependent conversion. We will allow single input field conversions within a radio object, but we'll have to carefully consider how we'll do it in a composite matrix where field strength matrices from widely varying frequencies may be present.

Unit conversion (feet, meters, dBu, dBm, etc.) is available via the file menu.
