Using the Radio
Notice:
Many countries require a license for radio users (such as the United
States). Be sure you comply with all local laws while operating a UHF
radio.
Measuring in RTK mode has made UHF the most popular choice for
communications between base and rover receivers. It is important for the user to
know the strengths and weaknesses of this technology to get the best use out of
your Prego system.
The quality and strength on the UHF signals translates into the range of your
UHF communications. The following are concepts that will help you get the
most out of your UHF based communication systems:
1. Your system’s range will greatly depend on the local conditions.
Topography, local communications and even meteorological conditions play
a major role in the possible range of your RTK communications. A 35 Watt
base radio will allow your Prego system to reach distances of up to 12 miles
using the standard antenna, depending on the local conditions. Distances in
the order of 4 to 7 miles (6 to 11 km) are easily reached.
Tip: Use a scanner to find clear channels for
communication.
1.
Your system’s range will increase by adjusting the antenna of your Base
station in one of the following ways.
• Ensure the Base radio has a fully charged battery.
