[QUOTE="Northern farmer, post: 5010376, member: 4568"] The fact that the RTK modem enters the "PPP connecting state" means you have GSM coverage (Pheasant Surprise explained this half way back in the thread). You did not report if the modem state remained the same after changing the APN? GSM coverage may turn out to be too limited on your fields but seems sufficient for receiver testing. You should really find a GSM capable phone for testing. The phone would not need to be any very old 2G phone as long as it is one of those GSM/UMTS/LTE type. If your new "full sized" SIM (actually the big SIM was credit card sized but only too old people remember those) is one of those that can modified to fit to a new phone. From the phone settings you can most often restrict 4G and 3G access, forcing the phone to 2G only mode. Now it would behave just like the AGI-3 modem even if it was an LTE capable phone. Unfortunately subsidised phones often have these menus disabled (my pretty new Android phone has that setting). [/QUOTE]
