A coverage map shades the parts of the world where your Transmit station can be heard right now. Brighter shading means a stronger signal.
# In the '''Transmit''' tab, choose a ground station under '''Transmit from''' and set the frequency, power and mode.
# In the '''Stations''' tab, press '''Coverage'''. The button reads '''Computing…''' until the map arrives.
# Press '''Hide coverage''' to remove it.

The map uses the station's location and antenna, the rotator heading, the power up to the radio's cap, the frequency, mode and bandwidth, and the current propagation conditions. It is approximate. After changing any of these, press '''Hide coverage''' and '''Coverage''' again. Coverage maps work for ground stations only.
