I don't really know tbh. I'm starting to think it is the agi4 receivers as we have two of them one with an internal modem roaming sim the other lh agro external modem. Both play up but more do the one with internal modem. I have tried a test signal from rtkf farming as i m getting a little tired of lh agros excuses and service. It seems alot better but still dropping out. It was terrible this morning drilling. Didn't miss a beat this afternoon. Any thoughts would be great.
It would be quite important to figure out if the issue is from cellular coverage or any other reason for losing the RTK correction signal or if the RTK correction signal is good but RTK fix is still misbehaving.
The X30 screen has a diagnosis app that shows cellular performance. Perhaps easier to check from the RTK correction signal page and follow the latency figure. Latency should stay below one or two seconds mostly. If it gets higher than a few seconds, then the issue is on the delivery of the RTK correction signal.
Our season has not started yet and I have not tried our AGI-4 but we've had every year a bit more often temporary RTK fix issues and in our case the correction signal is always 100% perfect. I have not seen any explanation for this and Topcon seems to have abandoned AGI-4 support completely. Our problem appears at the time of the day when the number of visible GPS satellites is lowest (even if under an open sky the number of satellites should be more than sufficient).
