Is anyone else having troubles with it?

Could you give us a link to those Maps ?
Have a good Day !

S.W. | The link is there, it's just not obvious.
The FCC web site does not have NM data. You can figure NM by comparing the FCC receive strength to -91 dbm, the approximate point that the NM=0.

FCC maps appear to, for the most part, ignore terrain.
