Mobile RTK Greenstar using JD Link MTG modem

[Brisel]

Anyone doing this? I have a contract hired 6215R for spraying that currently has SF3 via a SF6000 receiver. I want to upgrade to RTK as my next drill won't be using tramlines & SF3 isn't repeatable enough. AB lines & boundaries shift with SF3 and with a 36m trailed sprayer I need the accuracy. I'll have the tractor for a while longer yet & would rather avoid putting a unit on the back of the SF6000 as we've had some stolen.

Is the signal reception as good as a receiver mounted modem?

There is no JD RTK signal available locally, only 3rd party ones that get expensive when you add the annual JD unlock onto the 3rd party sub.

No one doing this?

I can’t comment on using it through the JD link system but we have the MRTK modems on the back of our sf3000 receivers and they are good but can loose signal under tree lines and in lowest part of valleys.
