than SPLAT, which requires compilation parameters to set the array size.
Radio Mobile, at least when I read it, was stuck at 3600x3600. If you
exceed that array, and note it uses a 1/3 arc second grid, the program
interpolates.


I'm too lazy to check the numbers right now. Maybe tomorrow.
Meanwhile, this article claims that Splat is limited to 3600x3600
while Radio-Mobile is limited to 2000x2000. No clue at this time
who's correct.


Looks like the balloon trackers have the same problem with Radio
Mobile Deluxe.

"The 2000x2000 software elevation matrix limits paths to
2000km for 1000m data (30-arc second), 200km for 100m
data (3-arc second) and 130km for 30m data (1-arc second)."

Now, go away so I can get some work done...
