Tipton, KS		Sidebar Tidbits

Case 340 was pulling an air drill loaded with soybeans, and the 1200 monitor would show 24" or more on accuracy ruler for WAAS.  I assume this means the tractor drives a path in the center of that value.  In the yard, I got NTRIP up/running today, and noticed 0.8" (20 mm), which might mean the tractor's path would be down the center (10mm <> 10 mm).  340 will be pulling a grain cart for the upcoming wheat harvest, so accuracy will be monitored.

Been using WAAS for years...first time RTK. A cellular device on a prepaid plan was used to send packets to Emlid's server; if packets did not arrive back to the tractor ontime, I believe currently this will screw the accuracy pooch. In time, an outdoor WiFi will be used. Point - The 0.8" value might be lower if VZW dumped/delayed packets. Tower used has a known issue of being overloaded, and prepaid users wait in line when busy.

For Case's NTRIP subscription (basic), they are using VZW. With Case's RTK+, roaming was engaged so nearest tower was used.
