Hi Mark, I realize it has been a while since you posted your question. However, I wanted to make you aware that the R2018b version of Antenna Toolbox introduced the Longley-Rice propagation model and automatic access to terrain data (Internet required), which results in more realistic coverage maps than the R2017b version you used.
The R2019a version of Antenna Toolbox added a couple of other terrain features, including the ability to import terrain data from DTED-files and support for the TIREM propagation model.
