Columbia County, WI | By the wording in your post, it sounds like you might be new to rtk. I'll try to lay out some basics to give you ideas. If you already know it, please disregard my post. BTW, I'm a novice at best, not an expert.
There are multiple options for RTK. It boils down to two paths, radio or streaming corrections. Your ag25 does the heavy lifting and recieves the waas signals. To get RTK, you need corrections, which are a base station close enough to see the same satellites that your ag25 does.
You have a built in radio. It is either 450mhz or 900mhz. 450 needs a license like certain 2 ways radios, 900 doesn't. Then you need a base station close enough to recieve the signal in your fields. This can be portable or permanent mount, depending on your farming operation. Range is more or less line of site. The base, you would need to buy and setup to run the whole time you want corrections. If you do go this route, I suggest a Trimble base, as Trimble is particular on the messages it recieves for corrections. This setup, you have to buy the base station, but no more fees after you get it going.
Streaming corrections, you need internet in one way shape or form. Whether it is a modem, beacon, or bluetooth dongle, they all grab info through the internet. Next, is the base station network. You'll have to do research on what's available in your area. Could be some from the dealerships, but I don't know. Digifarm is also a good option. These usually have a subscription. If your state has a CORS network, that probably will be your cheapest option. Some states are free, some have a small annual fee.
Once you know the network you want to use, then you figure out how to stream the corrections into your screen. Digifarm seems simple (never used it tho) buy a harness and beacon, turn on Hotspot on phone, adjust a couple settings, your done, RTK. CORS, research on agtalk, buy a harness or 2, get a Bluetooth dongle, get the Ntrip app on your phone, change settings, take twice as long as you think it should take to find that one setting you have wrong, but then have RTK. This is the route I've gone, it's very satisfying to have RTK without any fees!
