Yep, I think this is the formula for meters and MHz:

FSL = 32.5 + 20 log F + 20 Log D

Where:

D = Km
F = MHz

If Gt and Gr were gains, they would be additive – not subtracted, so I’m 
unclear as to what these actually stand for.

Well do you want to use miles and GHz or meters or feet KHz or or or?
This formula may be for meters and cycles per second.

That is what the constant does, the 32.44 it adjusts for units.

Then the Gt and Gr are the gains of the antennas I presume.

Which one>
96.6 + 20logD + 20log F  Where F & D are GHz and Miles.

or  20logD + 20log F  + 32.44 -Gt -Gr = FSPL  where t is tx pwr and r is 
receiver sensitivity.
