units. To edit the value, click on the highlighted column and enter
a new value.
• Antenna Height Method
- the method used to measure the
antenna height. You can change the type of the method (slant or
vertical) with the help of the drop-down list:
Vertical – measured from the ground point to the antenna
reference point (ARP) located on the bottom of the receiver.
Slant – measured from the ground point to the antenna slant
height measure mark (SHMM).
