Britton Bluedorn's Portable PowerFlarm in a box:

was of IMMENSE help and an efficient cost effective way to test the transmit/receive radiation pattern or range of your installed PF Core unit. Fortunately, he is my neighbor and loaned me the unit.

I hope that this will help others out there as well.

Very interesting, I think I can guess how you use this, but I'd rather have a description of your test procedure and love to see your data.

BTW on a similar note, flarm.com will give you a range analysis purely in Horizontal 2D. This is probably the most important for anticollision, however I would be curious to also see the vertical range analysis - a side view instead of top view to to see if the pattern is good above and below.
