Abstract
This work considers the application of the Radio Mobile software for calculating the coverage zones of analogue FMand digital DRM-transmitters. The requirements for the initial input data, enabling the reliable results, are demonstrated. It is shown that equality of the coverage zones of both transmitter types is determined by the proper ratio of the transmitter’s signal levels.
