I use Radiomobile for all my plots. Works great, but there is a bit of a learning curve. It plots paths over dted and srtm elevation data and is quite good at guessing rx strength.
For basic radio range it depends on line of sight so greatly that you really need something that will take hills into effect. Baring that you can always do a simple free space loss calculation.
