Sharing equipment data files on my other computer

[Brian H.]

Is there a way of sharing antenna and radio data files with my other computer?

Spent the time downloading and storing them on my main computer, now want to use the same equipment data files on my backup computer.

If all the files are not on the computer, the interference calculation shows errors for equipment not in the files.

Hi Brian,

I'll send you a note privately too, as I'm not sure if this forum lets you know when you get a reply. I've had to share files with others in my company and elsewhere. It can be a bit of a pain, but let me know if you've heard of an easier way...

I copy the following files to send:
- Radio Lookup Table.rad (from the main PL51 folder)
- Antenna Lookup Table.ant (also from the main folder)
- pl50_ant.ndx (from the equipmnt subfolder)
- pl50_txl.ndx (also from equipmnt)

Sending these three files is only the easy part though. Most likely the antenna index, maybe the others, will point at files that aren't where they're expected. It's been years since I've done this, but I seem to recall I had to go and import whole swathes of antenna files that included the ones I was using. Not the simplest procedure but it does work.
