Introduction
Find your control point
Before you set up your radio,
find your existing control or
decide where your control
station will be. For this
discussion, it is presumed
that you have previously
done your recon, have found
the optimal location for your
RTK Base; i.e., as much sky
as possible, as your base’s
corrections will otherwise
be curtailed if it’s unable to receive signals from the same
Space Vehicles (SVs)that your RTK Rover is able receive.
Ideally, your base should be able to see all healthy SVs.
Set up your radio
Knowing where your RTK base is going to be set up to
maximize satellite reception is the first step in setting up
your radio.
Other criteria for your radio’s location will be predicated
on 1) mitigating the electromagnetic effects of the radio’s
transmissions on the GNSS receiver, 2) the practicable range
of the Bluetooth connection between the RTK base and
the radio and lastly 3) the higher the antenna, the further
the line of sight distances will be allowed which is one
element effecting the range of the rover while still receiving
corrections.
