SPLAT!

SPLAT! (short for an RF Signal Propagation, Loss, And Terrain analysis tool[1]) is a GNU GPL-licensed terrestrial radio propagation model application initially written for Linux but has since been ported for Windows and OS X. SPLAT! can use the Longley-Rice path loss and coverage prediction using the Irregular Terrain Model to predict the behaviour and reliability of radio links, and to predict path loss.

## History

Development started in 1997 by John A. Magliacane, KD2BD. The latest version 1.4.2 was published in 2014. In 2020 several authors started the development of a completely reworked version which was not published yet.[2] The authors introduce multithreading, georeferenced outputs (GeoTIFF) and metrication as defaults.
