Just like to say what a helpful company to deal with. Was having trouble with my Massey Ferguson auto steer they were very helpful over the phone and came out and fitted a new modem for less money than Massey Ferguson. wanted.

Please tell more. Which system did you have on your tractor? Was it radio or NTRIP that didn't work and needed a new modem? What did they sell you for a solution?

Thanks. Was it broken or an old 2G-only modem? Wonder if the 2G/3G version works in the UK, at least we have the 3G frequencies refarmed for 4G. Luckily we have full 2G coverage for the autoguide 3000.

Did the experts offer any external modem option? A bit of DIY but starting from a few pounds you could have your NTRIP RTK corrections through the external modem port.

It kept losing signal.Ntrip was put through an external port. I'm no expert all I saw was they put a new boxing with some small aerials in the top of the roof.

Interesting, it is not the DigiFarm Beacon V3.0 then. Would be nice to know more about their solution. Didn't find anything from their web site. Anyone from the company present here at this forum?

Thanks for the kind words, Harvey.
@Northern farmer - We installed an external modem with in built NTRIP Client.
