As an example, here's the address for the Laconia PD, with an antenna height of 25' above ground level:

The FCC tool is based on a National Bureau of Standards propagation model and in fact uses an actual digitized terrain data based on specific location. Any underlying calculations in the TVFool model would be based on the same Longley-Rice Irregular Terrain Model used in the FCC tool.
The calculation results should be the same, the TVFOOL is probably easier for non technical users.
