Do you need to put that in range of your wifi at home or unless you have wifi in the buildings
How to set up your own RTK base station.. for about £300

I have WiFi in the building I’m putting it in, main reason why I chose that

Thats my biggest problem, the shed apex is alot higher and more open but no wifi, house is more shaded and harder to try and put a mast up on but wifi in the house
Can you run a shielded Ethernet cable to your shed? Our internet actually goes into the outbuilding then, Ethernet to the house

It looks worse than it actually is.Just had a quick scroll through again and does seem quite complicated
After all I've done it.

WiFi NTRIP Master hookup guide
The WiFi NTRIP Client is the easiest way to connect your simpleRTK2B to a NTRIP service via WiFi. Configure your credentials and let the module do the rest!

How to configure simpleRTK2B as static base station
Static base station configuration with u-blox ZED-F9P to use fixed coordinates instead of automatic Survey In.

Then need to get position of base station with 24 hour data logging and then sending for PPP
Follow my guide, when you're working through it a step at a time, it's simple enough. If you're just reading it in a one-er, I guess it does look a bit much. When you're doing it for real, not so muchJust had a quick scroll through again and does seem quite complicated

What are the benefits of using the raspberry pi over the ntrip master? Once both are setup are there any advantages

Ntrip master seems to be the cheapest if that is all you need.
F9p on its own can only generate rtcm messages to suit F9p. Raspberry pi running rtkbase can generate other rtcm messages to suit any receivers you might have or want to support.
I have on occasions ran my Pi on ethernet cable, rather than WiFi. I have seen that recommended to avoid having any unsecure WiFi devices connected to your home network.
I fancied having a raspberry pi to play with, which large swayed my decision. Though when I got mine, the 3b were largely unavailable or cosy as much as a 4b. The 4b is fine, but a bit more power hungry than the older models, causing them to run fairly hot. I haven't looked up the 5b to see what they are like.

I'm sure I can tailor the f9p to output a wide range of messages

I recall the f9p chip can only output the limited range of rtcm messages. The ones which it is designed to use.
Page 18 lists the RTCM messages the chip can generate on its own. Perfectly fine if you just want to send correction signals to another f9p, but some other receivers require different correction messages.

F9P is specifically unable to generate legacy RTCM messages that many older dual constellation receivers need. Also F9P itself is capable of using these legacy messages but obviously prefers MSM messages to make use of Galileo and Beidou too.

For a jd star fire 6000 what type modems could you use rtk on ntrip account? Can any off the shelf one be used or dose it need to be a specific one?
I'm pretty sure if you want to use an NTRIP feed via 4G modem on JD Starfire, that you will have to also have a JD Mobile RTK subscription on top of any subscription for third party RTK.
No idea about the modem...
JD don't like missing out on their slice of the action.
Best solution park JD in field for a few hours, wait for 6000 antennae to be stolen and replace with an AGRA-GPS CRG antennae like this, will plug straight into Starfire harness:
You will then be able to use any RTK correction, there's an inbuilt modem or can even use mobile phone as Bluetooth for internet connection to save a SIM subscription.
Setup own basestation as per thread or if within about 30km of here use mine.
@darrenjlobb has looked into JD options I think.

We have been using the old reichard 2g modems but there obsolete now John deere do there own modem just wondered what else is compatible we use v55 sierra ones on anything else
Sierra modems work fine, I've had GX450 and V55 working with rtkbase no problem.
I have base station all set up, had a few problems but most sorted now. When I check rtk2go map it shows my position to be 2-300m off where it should be? Any ideas?
That sounds right, only show two decimal places iirc.
