• The MPE Calculator software performs a comprehensive station evaluation for each of your transmitters and antennas, producing evaluation results both on-screen and by printout.. The software runs on any IBM Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 computer utilizing any of the standard printers. A comprehensive Help file is included to give detailed instructions for each step in the station evaluation.

• Data Entry: The amateur operator enters transmitter power (PEP), selects transmission line type from a list and enters transmitter line length, selects antenna type and gain from a list (or enters antenna description), enters frequency of operation, and chooses whether or not to consider ground reflection effects. Each antenna configuration is evaluated separately.

• Results: The program displays the RF power delivered to the antenna (based on transmission line type and length) and a complete MPE results table (safe distances from the antenna in feet) according to operating mode for both controlled and uncontrolled environments. A printed report is available giving the complete station evaluation documentation in the suggested FCC format. This printed report should be filed for future reference.

• Multiple Transmitter Evaluation: For the evaluation of multiple transmitter sites, the MPE Calculator software includes a Power Density Calculator option which calculates the RF field contributed by each transmitter and antenna in simultaneous use. This feature is a must for evaluating repeater sites (including those having ham transmitters operating along with transmitters operating outside of the ham bands), multi-op contest sites and field day sites!
