Trimble cfx750 not picking up signal

[SilliamWhale]

Having increasing problems with my Trimble picking up the rtx signal and taking ages to go green.

Any ideas why? Is there a reset?

I've paid for a 5 year sub but I'm wondering if it has maybe blocked it.

Slow to acquire usually means tractor or base have a poor view of sky, or distance to base too great. How far are you?

Pembrokeshire.

I'm wondering if my Antenna is damaged or the cable damaged.

When did you pay for sub?
Could it have been reset to favour accuracy rather than favour availability at renewal?

It's a satellite correction like Point Perfect.

My old CFX just got really slow, I updated the firmware and cleared the memory and it was so much faster.

But it always took 5 mins or more to get RTX, sometimes 15 mins.

They do that on purpose I'm sure!

Is there any way he could use my base station?

It probably needs an unlock code to get it to rtk level.
We've a fmx750 in the combine with only an unlock code at rtx level and thats also go crap for acquiring enough green signal to be able to use autosteer
