Help with RAOBF dis. My measurements are off.

I've been continuing to investigate this and it doesn't make much sense. My question is have other people checked the measurements on RAOBF with the map tools? Why are my findings so off? I've double, and triple checked everything.

I've found that if the target is fairly close, I can get accurate results if I subtract 500 metres. ie - 2500 metres on the RAOBF is actually 2000 metres. But at longer ranges it gets completely out of whack. 2000 metres and more off.

Could mast heights be wrong, either in the 3D models or documentation in SOANS?

I'm genuinely interested to see if others have tested this.
