Subject: RE: WAAS Changes?


I wouldn't change if your happy with what you have because there is always a cost to changing. Visit with a dealer you can trust to get the straight skinny in your area for signal. We have both an EZ-Guide on WAAS and a 132 on Beacon.

The accuracy of Beacon has been clearly better once we have managed to sort out the equipment. The problem we have had is interference from various electrical systems on some equipment. Beacon uses a low band AM signal (think about hearing the engine on your radio, it's similar to that). Our 132 was rock solid in our 8630, heavily affected until we swapped out a part in the air conditioner in an MX 200 ( worked well there after) and now we are having problems with a new MX 210. That's the most frustrating part as that shouldn't happen on a new tractor in this day and age.

I'm a believer in Beacon because I've seen it but WAAS is definitely less of a headache to setup thus far.
