Has anyone done it recently?

We run Topcon, Greenstar, and occasionally Trimble.

Having problems with losing signal on ntrip on the x30 Topcon in the sprayer.

Just wondering if it would make sense in having our own radio signal.

Many thanks
Elliott

Have a search of the threads this section. There’s several. It’s mostly all there. Have a good read.

Then come back with questions

Are you running a roaming sim card for ntrip?

Have had ntrip rtk with topcon and now trimble (Fendt varioguide ) have always had a roaming sim because of the distance between my farms and poor reception. It does work well so may be a cheaper option and less hassle than setting up a base station

We run roaming sims on topcon NTRIP and never have a drop out, and work over a fairly large area, tried an EE one but was unreliable around here, from our experience a roaming sim on ntrip is more reliable than a radio signal from a base
