Subject: RE: How does the RTK system work?



East Central Indiana
With deere, your own personal rtk base works with all your rtk activated receivers, subscription free. It also works for your neighbors' receivers if you feel like sharing your frequency and station ID.

I used to subscribe to the dealer network, but the bill this year was almost triple, so I didnt pay it and set up my own base.

Your receivers don't automatically connect, you enter in the frequency and station ID that you set your base to transmit on. FCC license required to broadcast in the 450mhz band. I hired a frequency coordinator to get me an fcc license, as well as a high gain antenna, lightning arrestor, advice, instructions, and a projected coverage map based on my topography and antenna height. All said and done, it'll take me 3.5 years to break even vs. my dealer's rtk network subscription, and I have much better signal strength.
