We're RTK-ized here...AgLeader/Trimble though. Don't know anything about JD radio stuff. We subscribe to signal. Presently single xmitter antenna sits on grain elevator leg nearby. Must be 150' high or so. We can get strong signal @ 12 crow mis. Insight says it's good enough for autopilot. There are a couple places we lose signal due to trees....so they loaned us a repeater to use. It's got a magnetic mount & just sits up on anything & powered by 12V. The repeater isn't moving-so it gets better signal & sends it to your mobile unit. We just put in on pickup truck cab roof sitting on end rows while planting. There's a light on bottom of repeater telling you if it's receiving RTK. Insight doesn't care whether signal comes from big tower or repeater. It'll choose whichever is stronger. We'll know if we can RTK combine off of planted rows whenever we start combining corn...that might be in a couple mos. @ present rate. We're satisfied thus far w/this RTK setup. Owner can add more xmitters as more users come on line. The only thing is-they're brand specific. JD guys can't use Trimble-intended signal & visa-versa. |
