Does anyone know how to change the network operator on fieldstar 5? Mine keeps trying to connect to EE which doesn’t seem to connect to the internet to run NTRIP.

I've been having issues this afternoon with losing signal and struggling to pick it up again.

Been trying to setup offset for GPS on drill. Gave up in the end.

Who do you get RTK through? We are Ravenhill dyce..

Chae, there's a couple of stations up in Aberdeenshire, LEASK and Melsom-Galloquhine - speak to Craig at CT Scott as well, he might be able to sort you out with one or build your own. Get a 4-network unsteered SIM card from v12.co.uk as well, save a fortune.

Does your signal sort of freeze, mine has been driving me crazy for some time. It's OK if the phone signal is good but just freezes when in poor reception area. The only way I can get it back is to turn the tractor off and back on which is a pain . I would love to know if anyone has found a way to resolve this . Novatel receiver, Fieldstar 5, MF 8s

Looks like wet again today.

How are you getting on with drill?
Fine so far. Big learning curves for me getting it all set up, had to change the position of the closing wheels as was struggling for depth in stiff stuff. First field sown is all through, no skips. About 160 acres in so see what the rest looks like. PH tines seem to be disappearing mind. How long are your amazone tines lasting?

Yeh to wet again today on top. My issue if fields with bottom water that is still taking time to disappear.
