[QUOTE="Pheasant Surprise, post: 1884524, member: 1103"] [B][B]Part 3 - Configuring an External UHF Modem[/B] [/B] There is the “third” way to get RTK correction data into the VarioGuide and I think this has been by and large the default way of connecting to a third-party (e.g. not a Fendt portable) UHF fixed or portable base. If you want to connect to an existing external base, over which you have no control of the settings (e.g. frequency, channel width etc) and the frequency the base is using falls outside of the range you can receive using the AGCO internal radio (455 to 459 MHz) and/or the base is using a 12.5 KHz channel spacing, then this might be your only bet. There is a spare serial port on the right hand side of the VarioGuide unit in the roof. See picture below. An external modem (about the size of a packet of cigarettes) is connected to this port using a simple serial connection – 5 wires in total. Its possible to buy a little Satelline EASy UHF radio modem exactly for this task. A very basic serial cable can then be made up using a DB15 connector at the modem end and a Deutch DT06-12SB connector at the VarioGuide end, some pins, blanking plugs and an inline 1A fuse for the power supply to the modem from the VarioGuide port. “External base” is the Base Type setting using on the terminal, you then set the port speed and parity to match the data modem. A special serial port adapter is available to put the external Satel modem into programming mode, its about £35. Modem settings are defined/programmed using free software, Satel Configuration Manager off their website. [B] [ATTACH=full]247758[/ATTACH] [/B] [/QUOTE]
