Hey, if you’re an RFE, I have an RF question for you. Doing industrial RF telemetry, and had a guy tell me the other day “I use 900MHz for near line of sight, 2.4GHz for LOS with no fresnel zone, and 5GHz if I have a clear fresnel zone and want more range than I can get with 2.4GHz.” Does that make any sense to you?

I have no formal training in RF, just self-taught and OJT, but the formulas I’ve seen have the freq-dependent part of Lfs being proportional to LOG(f), so I’ve always used 900MHz for longer ranges. Is there some other factor that often overrides that? Talking 2-20 mile range or so for purposes of this discussion. Is this guy on crack or is he making sense?
