PPP gps signal

[NorthumbrianFarmer]

Hi, so I was talking to someone about gps the other day and he mentioned a PPP signal that was free and had 5-10cm accuracy? Is this right? If so how do you go about getting it? Is it another base station or SIM card?

I’m not sure if I’m honest. It was from someone who’s bought patchwork gps system and said something about it but he couldn’t elaborate anymore then that

If your familiar with agopengps you can build your own rtk base station for about £300 then you'll have 2cm accuracy free

I think(correct me if I'm wrong)
A ppp signal is 1 that has been surveyed and is I think garenteed accurate to x
Your own base via the like of rtk2go should offer similar accuracy
If the accuracy is 5 to 10cm that suggests its 50km away from you

I wouldn't be too confident that "Patchwork" Which is actually a Sveaverkern F100 kit re-badged (which is actually FJD kits re-badged) would be very reliable on PPP. I could be wrong but I don't believe the coverage would be very good in the UK.

I think a cheap base station sounds best.

Yes, we have an FJD radio base station for sale cheap. £999 plus VAT.
It will work with "Patchwork" as thats also FJD as I mentioned earlier.

Can easily make one for £300

How to set up your own RTK base station.. for about £300

Finally got round to documenting how I did this - have since got a couple other going in the neighbourhood, and now they're there for anybody to use, if they so wish. The idea being, get a couple going in your community, provide resilience through redundancy (you can self-publish to take rtk2go...
