Tower Map

I tried the search bar with no luck. Where do I find the DTRS tower map that shows the coverage area of the towers in the new database?

Thanks Chris. I'll check some more but I was looking for the old map that a circle of coverage around the tower and also showed miles of coverage. You could even see where two towers overlapped. Also looking for Summit county area.

I do not remember a feature in the database that allowed for multiple sites to be selected, just the single site range circle as seen in the previous reply or the map of all the sites without the circles in the State of Colorado DTRS Sites Location Report.

The site range data for the sites in zones 2 and 5 were not updated like the rest of the zones were, so almost all of those sites have the old default of 25 miles. Sites usually have a reasonable coverage range of about 15 miles with some having extremely limited coverage for a specific valley. The database range circles were designed for flat terrain and is not great in the mountains where sites are masked by the terrain.

The rough draft coverage ranges for Summit County sites based on simulations are as follows:

• 2-007 Copper Mountain: 10 miles
• 2-057 Lake Hill: 9 miles
• 2-058 Keystone: 8 miles
• 2-077 Tyrolean: 8 miles
• 3-048 Blue Ridge: 25 miles

THANKS TO ALL. I do think the old map was better that actually showed the radiated distance like 50 miles for example and it did more than one at a time. I could be wrong and know that Spitfire has been around a long time and is very knowledgeable. The only tower I didn't do was Blue Ridge and I'll check it out. It's chilly in Denver now and I hope it's better in Silverthorne next week for my bike rides.
