Basically the summary statement would be a GNSS receiver is top of the line for satellite availability and RTK is the top of the line for correction services.
By a forum post elsewhere, it has been suggested for GNSS 2-10 meters, and for RTK 1-2 centimeters (less than an inch) if within 10-20 km of a RTK base station. But if using GPS L1/L5 bands, 30 centimeters (12 in).
"Using L1 and L5 signals simultaneously allows receivers to compare the delays from the two different frequencies to correct for ionospheric interference, further enhancing accuracy." Here, your receiver is acting like an augmentation system like WAAS, but based upon your location. I'm not aware of farm-based GNSS receivers doing this.:
Yes, RTK is best, but I'd like to know more about L1/L5 accuracy for farm applications with a GNSS receiver...Pass to Pass accuracy...ISO 12188-1:2010.

WAAS vs SF1 are they the same accuracy?
