I tried a days subscription worked OK got 2.5 cm accuracy then tried a months sub for spring work but receiver wasn't picking up GNSS signal but was receiving correction data from RTKfix. Contacted them via email no response, so just using EGNOS for the moment good enough for fert and mowing etc.

Website looks good..... How far way was your nearest base @Baz65

 

[Baz65]

I have no idea it's VRS so over Ntrip, on the website it says 50km baseline, don't know how to check how true that is as only have AGCO version of TOPCON AGI-4 through Data4 screen,

at 50k you will get gnss issues in my opinon. I think their service is aimed at survey not moving ag vehicles even though it says different on their website.
Id try LH Agro, RTK Farming, Nick Abbey Digital Agriculture to name but a few

I might give RTK farming a try before autumn work begins our Massey dealer RVW Pugh use's them.

Thanks for this.
How do you access EGNOS?
I don't have a SIM enabled unit.
No word from RTKFix re coverage.

EGNOS is the free correction signal that TOPCON receives accuracy is around 25cm sometimes better sometime worse depending on location, regarding RTKFIX at the beginning they answered enquiries quite quickly, but then have gone all quiet, I've sent numerous emails via their contact form and yet no reply so think I'll not bother with them again even though I liked the option of only paying for corrections when I need them.

Any idea if EMLID can receive EGNOS also?

 

[Baz65]

Sorry don't know about EMLID, if you search for EMLID on here there's a few threads about them.

Avoid this lot like the plague. I paid for a daily fee for a test. Delivery is supposed to be "immediate". 36 hours later the licence arrived and was then unusable due to weather etc. Tried to get a refund and not one bit of response since.
