The pathloss function should have all but the station-specific

pathloss function will use the appropriate frequency, etc.).
In some cases, it may be necessary to use a lambda instead of the raw
pathloss function. For example::
pm = PropagationModelFcurvesWithoutTerrain()
pl_function = lambda *args, **kwargs: pm.get_pathloss_coefficient(*args, curve_enum=PropagationCurve.curve_50_90, **kwargs)
