Sounds too good to be true. What country are you in and what service provider are you getting your VRS service from?290 euro per year.

Hi!"SO" where abouts in the world are you @SinisaB
from your
FM750 with EZ Pilot-seed drill problem adjustment
You sound as though its not England
Would be nice to see how sparse their VRS network is. Is his problem the EZ-pilot thing or the VRS signal.
Assuming this is a “special” price for farmers/agricultural contractors? Surveyors etc generally have deeper pockets and can pass on higher costs to their clients. Are the RTK networks there in general use by folks outside of agriculture - like surveyors - or at these networks for agricultural users only?Whole country is covered by RTK network and it works pretty good.
There are 2 reasons why the signal is cheaper:
1. 3 RTK dealers in small country-competition
2. poor country- has to be available for as many farmers as possible
Definitely a 'special' price, corrections can easily run into the tens of thousands of dollars. I think we used to pay about $1,800 per month for corrections with Fugro.Assuming this is a “special” price for farmers/agricultural contractors?

We have a large national network in the UK that is run by the Ordnance Survey but it’s re-branded and resold by Topcon, Trimble, Leica an even CNH are now licensing it. The variance in end user cost in this one identical network is significant.
Then of course we have independent specialist agricultural RTK networks but they don’t cover the entire country.
Cripes! I hope that was for a fleet of oil tankers rather than a fleet of tractors.Definitely a 'special' price, corrections can easily run into the tens of thousands of dollars. I think we used to pay about $1,800 per month for corrections with Fugro.
Not a fleet, just the one ship! I think they do an annual fee which made it about $1,500 a month.Cripes! I hope that was for a fleet of oil tankers rather than a fleet of tractors.
