Both lost satelites wednesday after working tuesday, new software installed and the best one is now as bad as the one that's been trouble since it was installed.

A friend who works on a large farm has had lots of issues with gps signal in last couple of weeks making a sprayer inoperable apparently.had tractor issues too and dealers are blaming Russians for doing something with the satellites.sounds bizarre to me but maybe some truth in it

Which system are you on.

My neighbour seems to have had issues in the past, also local fergy dealer complained of issues with the Trimble receiver failing on the roof.

Personally, I've never had the issue.

I have 2 fields I can’t use auto steer in now since an Airband mast was placed in neighbouring field. It causes a split second loss of signal every few seconds, which is enough to disengage the steering. 😡

Mines been playing up this week, I have some fields that are a pain to get an ntrip signal and I think it’s been worse than usual. Dealer may have come up with a solution we are going to try

Crumbs, what a devil these Russians. Without GPS the uk will not plant a crop this Spring. No one can operate a tractor these days unless the GPS does the steering, the operator can be watching you tube on their phone, and as for using markers, what are they. cunning plan by vlad to reduce uk food output.
