Note: RANGER supports third-party applications designed to receive DGPS signals from an external receiver over 
an RS-232 serial interface using NMEA 0183 messages. Various third-party connecting cables and kits are 
available for such applications as yield monitors, rate controllers, and laptops. Make sure RANGER and the 
external application use the same baud rate. When using an output rate of 5 HZ use a higher baud rate (such as 
19200) than the default (4800).

Description

Correction 
Type

Options: SBAS, e-Dif
Default: SBAS

Differential correction type used by RANGER to 
improve GPS positioning accuracy.

• SBAS (default) is available throughout most 

of North America and does not require any 
configuration.

• e-Dif is most relevant outside North America 

and is intended only for relative guidance 
applications and is not recommended for 
data recording and subsequent comparative 
analysis.

It is recommended that North America customers 
use the default (SBAS).

SBAS Satellite

Options: AUTO, W122, W134, W135, 
W138, E120, E124, E126, E131, 
M129, M137
Default: AUTO

Menu item appears only when correction type is 
SBAS. If not using AUTO (default), for North 
America SBAS coverage use a WAAS satellite 
(W122, W134, W135, or W138).
