I've been wondering if there's a tool to edit the land cover data files.
I couldn't figure out what could open or import them. I'd like to
change a few pixels to forest.

For the record that data is derived from the National Land Cover
Dataset (NLCD). That data is built using satellite and aerial data and
classifies the ground clutter for each 30 meter square. Roger converted
that data to a format similar to the SRTM file format so that Radio
Mobile can read and use it. I have attached a Google Earth file that
links to the National set if you want to just view the data and
compare it to aerial images. As I recall the latest version had some
issues due to the fact that there were a couple of extra land cover
classes added and the conversion process from the old format does not
always work out exactly as desired. Also keep in mind that due to the
30 meter square getting only one type of classification, it’s one or
the other in a 30 meter square area where you could have both buildings
and trees. In the urban clutter class this is pretty common. Radio
Mobile does loss calculations for buildings only in that square and
cannot account for a line of trees that do not make up the majority of
the 30 meter square.
Thank You,

In Mobile Radio under Internet Options. Land cover can be downloaded
from the internet and saved locally. I have mine pointing to "Landcover
- Site 2" which is http://www.ve2dbe.com/geodata/landcover/

The last I remember getting data for something similar it came from
NASA. This might be a place to start:
https://data.giss.nasa.gov/landuse/
If you do a google for NASA land search you get a few thiings that
might help.

But where does the data come from? Seems like Roger was giving it
away one year at AnimalFarm. I probably got a disk but I doubt I
could ever find it.

Thats an option you select and edit into that file. I think its all
like 20 years old though on the clutter

Where do you get land cover data for Radio Mobile?
