Subject: Brief overview/costs of RTK positioning systems?


I'm just trying to get an idea of what the RTK market looks like. I'm interested mainly in positioning only at the moment, not the automatic guidance and such. Here's what I've read:

If you have an RTK network available, you can pay a few thousand dollars a year for access. If you don't, you can purchase a base station for around 10-40k. In order for a piece of machinery to get position data, it requires a receiver that is somewhere around $5000.

Does a subscription typically cover just one receiver? Do you need anything other than a receiver to get position data? Do the receivers give you your heading, pitch, or roll, or do you need something else to provide that?

If anyone can give actual prices on some of this stuff, I'd definitely appreciate it. Or anything else that I should know. Thanks!
