The most important part of a site survey is the site survey kit. No matter
how talented the engineer may be, it is impossible to perform a site survey
without the proper tools. It is recommended that a site survey kit be a
portable unit. For ease of use, a hard plastic case that rolls and can be
checked as luggage is the best and most common package.
Site surveys are often requested on very short notice. The engineer should
be able to carry the case in the trunk or back seat of a car or check it as
luggage in order to travel with the equipment. This solves the problem of the
kit being lost or detained when shipped. It also allows for quick deployment of
an engineer.
