Trimble FMX

Have the above and it seems to loose Gps signal easily when going under trees and takes several minutes to regain signal. It only has 8 satellites in the middle of the field. How can we get it receiving more satellites? We are near Taunton FYI.

Which correction signal are you using? 8 sounds OK for EGNOS but low for other correction signals.

We are using RTK with VRS correction via sim.

Is it unlocked for Glonass?

Don’t know, how do I check please?

There is an unlocks tab on one of the home screens, it's been a while since I've been in front of an FMX.
It gives you a list of the features with either a padlock or blue tick to show what is unlocked.

Had a look and no it’s not unlocked for Glonass, enquired and going to cost £600 to unlock, is it worth it?
Hopefully get a demo of it first.

At £600 you could get an AgOpenGPS setup running on RTK with a dual frequency quadruple constellation (GPS/Glonass/Galileo/Beidou) GNSS receiver. Not exactly apples-to-apples comparison but gives an idea what £600 should give you.
