Standalone Configuration
The Bad Elf Flex supports operating in Base mode without the use of a connected app. A
standard checklist interface provides for quick startup and configuration of Flex as an RTK
Base. Starting the Base feature enables wireless transmission of a high-accuracy corrections
feed via a Flex radio.
Note: Many of the Flex UI options are disabled while the Flex is operating in Base mode to
ensure maximum stability of the base while in operation.
