Default Help with EZNEC

I've been out of the country for three weeks during which Internet
access was unexpectedly spotty. I did put a priority on answering email,
however. Emailing me is a better way to get support for EZNEC than
posting on a newsgroup -- assuming you purchased EZNEC rather than
obtaining it by some other means. I apologize if I did fail to answer an
email message. The volume has been too high to quite keep up with.

To answer the question: There's no way to add gain to an antenna pattern
unless you want to save it in a trace (plot) file and modify the file.
The binary file format is described in detail in the EZNEC manual.

It's easy, however, to reduce the gain of the other antenna -- just add
a resistive load in the same segment as the source. You can reduce the
gain by any amount you'd like by using this method.

I'm comparing elevation plots of an antenna. They have different
forward gains, this makes it difficult to compare the lobe shape.


Is there a way to equalize the gains to do a comparison?


Example: I have an antenna that is -19dbi and one that is -23dbi.
Can I add 4db of gain to one to make the comparison easier?

Roy, I have a serious complaint about Eznec+ 5.0... I can't believe
you could drop the ball this badly... Come on man, get a grip... I
expect better of you...

Every time I click on the far field plot it now comes up so fast I
don't have time to get a sip from my beer... Ya know, I'm not a
camel! A man could die of thirst using this program... sheeeesh...
