Central ND | We found a good deal on a Trimble NetR5 from eBay that was set up with the latest firmware. This has an NTRIP server built in, just requires a wired internet connection. We manage it all on our own through a web interface on a local network computer.
As somebody mentioned this does require having a static IP and forwarding ports in a router. But having our own keeps us from having to pay a yearly fee to a local RTK network and we can also password protect our NTRIP connection. And we could allow neighbors to use our base station as well with a possibility of charging a little fee. We farm about 8 miles out from our base station and have no issues.
Then we have Trimble 262 antennas unlocked to RTK. With those we are using RTKonnects which can use the Wifi hotspot from our phones or we can run an app on our phones and use bluetooth. The apps are nice to use now and then to make sure it is connecting to our base station. For apps to check we use Messicks app or Lefebure app.

What does it take to NTRIP from my own base station?
