FREQUENCY
If the GeoSteer system detects a 450 MHz or 160 MHz radio
modem installed, the system will show a Frequency option on
the list on the right otherwise this option will not be displayed.
The 450 MHz and 160 MHz radio modems used with the
GeoSteer system provides a data link to supply RTK corrections
from a base station. The radio modem must be configured to the
same frequency and channel spacing that is used on the base
station in order to communicate properly. Also, any time the
operator needs to use a different base station or repeater
running on a different frequency and channel spacing, the radio
frequency and channel spacing on the GeoSteer system must
be changed to match the new one.
To access the Frequency screen, select the GPS tab from the main AutoSteer Setup screen, press the RTK button, and then
select Frequency from the list on the right.

NOTE!: Before proceeding with the radio frequency configuration procedure, verify the base station is properly
installed and operational. Also verify what radio modem frequency and channel spacing the base station has been
set to. See your Base Station Operator’s Manual for operation and installation instructions.
