The key features of the 6.4.2 release are:
New Features
Added ITU-R P.530-19 Prediction Model support
LINKPlanner now includes support for the ITU-R P.530-19 Prediction Model.
This update allows users to plan links using the latest supported ITU-R P.530-19 prediction model, helping improve alignment with current prediction modelling standards. This is particularly useful when evaluating microwave link availability and performance under prediction conditions defined by the updated recommendation.
To select the ITU-R P.530-19 Prediction Model, go to:
Project Settings > Project Properties > Prediction Model
Then select ITU-R P.530-19 from the available model options.

A new project-level Revert Profile option has been added under the Tools menu.
This option allows users to revert the project profile more easily at the project level, improving workflow efficiency when changes need to be rolled back or when users need to return to the default profiles.
To access this option, open the project and navigate to:
Tools > Refresh Project Profiles in the top menu bar,
Project Profiles pop-up window opens,
- To refresh the profile of the individual link, click
on the right side of the link row. - To refresh the profile of the multiple links, select the required links using the select checkboxes and then click
on the bottom of the page. - To refresh all the profiles in the project, click on
the bottom of the page.
