New Zealand		I have been where you are now.

If you want to bypass the computer running the RTKLIB, you can buy a different gps board to act as the base (then use your existing one as a handheld receiver that can be used to mark boundaries and such)
The Ardusimple SimpleRTK3b (based on a septentrio mosaic X5) can output the corrections that a Trimble receiver needs to make RTK fix. RTCM or CMR. And it has inbuilt function to send the corrections to RTK2go. IT can be connected to the internet via cable.

Those of you who say it is difficult. If you can operate your planter/tractor/combine monitors with whatever quirks they have, then you can do this too. I would be happy to share some pictures of how to set it up, but the hardest part is probably to find a suitable place for the antenna, and run the cables for the antenna to where the base is going to sit, a place that has internet access available.
Once you have done that, you can have Free RTK corrections for as many devices as you like.
