Got it. Added to my bookmarks, I only had Michi's fcctoday.org, the daily digest.

Rest of Nevada 2 FM stations broadcasting within Area 51

To KM. Not really applicable to Tonopah, but what Radio-Locator WILL do for you is give you stations the can possibly be received where you are. Where I am, if I ask FCCInfo or the FCC data base for 'Moriarty' I will get the single AM in town. If I ask Radio-Locator for Moriarty. I will get all the FM on Sandia Peak (15 miles away, full quieting) as plus the Moriarty repeater in Edgewood. Is there another tool except for Radio-Locator that will do that?

The same function exists on Michi's site. You can put in a community name and receive a list of all stations in reception range. I did the same thing as you and got this:
At first I thought that I am doing something differently than you ... then I realized where the confusion started: FCCInfo.com is not Michi's site ... FCCdata.org is. And that is what we consider to be the quasi-official reference site for RD, and the one I promote every time I see Radio-Locator cited in a post.
And, since I know she'll read this because I tagged her in an earlier post in the thread ... you're welcome, Michi.

Case in point.
Definitely not a translator for KSNE which is Sunny 106.5
But what data does the Radioland app use? FM only but far superior coverage map look

K229CT *is* a translator for KSNE. It carries a feed of KNLB programming that comes via KSNE-HD3.
Nick uses his own proprietary database for HD formats. Lance and I are among the users who supply him with updated information as we travel.
Oh I see what you mean. Yea HD3 is KNLB Lake Havasu City and the translator relays that. I was thinking you meant it relayed KSNE FM which is Sunny 106.5
I see the issue. FCCinfo and FCCdata are exactly that - data. My interest is more 'what can I hear'. For that Radio-Locator is better. A couple of examples. If I query 'Moriarty' FCCdata lists the LP stations in Albuquerque, which are definitely not hearable. FCCdata does not list KHFM (Los Alamos) which is hearable here. Radio-Locator does not list the LP stations and does list KHFM. So it depends on what you are using the site for.
Nick Langan's RadioLand app is by far the very best at "what can I hear." It's super accurate when it comes to signal levels, co-channel interference, adjacent-channel interference and other factors.

Okay, I will (to a degree) accept that argument, although I consider it a nitpick that one station out of dozens is listed on one site but not the other ... especially since I am not @Michi and therefore can't explain why that is.
However, I will also tack on to your argument my opinion that "what I can hear" is not an acceptable justification for discussing a station's operation here.

My only wish is that it was also available via my web browser so I could see the data on my larger PC display.
I always wondered about something that I haven’t found the answer to. One night years ago I was driving north of Las Vegas on route 95 and for several miles I heard nothing but silence on the FM dial, although it was in a stretch where I think I should have still been able to hear many FM stations from Las Vegas. I mean, no static, nothing but dead air. If it were just poor reception in that area, I wouldn’t hear silence, right? If I recall correctly, it went on for several miles. Was this some sort of test where radio signals are somehow jammed? Or is it a common practice that I’ve somehow not heard about? I live on the other side of the country, so I have only been in that area that one time.
Definitely. Can you cast from your phone to the computer? Or can you use the Link to Windows app? Either that or just use a TV to cast. Or go the whole hog and run an Android emulator
there are apps to download to a PC to mirror what’s on your mobile device (may be already part of Windows 10/11)
just search: “mirroring from mobile device to PC” should be possible with either Android or iPhone

My preference is to be able to call up useful information like this directly on my browser. I prefer not to use my phone for anything when I am sitting here at my own desk.
I know all about mirroring apps. IMHO, they are more trouble than they are worth.
But thank you for trying to be helpful!
