Thanks Lofty. Thats useful information. My unit outputs position, heading etc. via configurable CAN messages so that should not be a problem. It is this element that is quite expensive if purchased via JD. Assuming JD are measuring pitch, roll and Yaw rate (rather than calculating it) those...

If your area is fairly flat and not too large, you might get away using radio. Satel Easyline is my preferred choice. If you need to use repeaters, this could get quite expensive.
