RAyTools has got 3 main features: • Link Calculator supporting all our links and antennas, giving you the same quality of results as our much-loved website calculator; • Antenna Alignment for voltmeter-free installation, including real-time RSS plot and acoustic output; • Link management access. Next time, leave your heavy gear at home and align antennas only using your phone!
