Which egnos sats to use?

[Badshot]

I though Trimble use their own RTX satellites for Xfill backup corrections with their RTK, not egnos?

Fir the xfill, correct.

But they're using other sats for the general sat correction.

The xfill is to fill in gaps in the rtk radio signal.

It managed to not drop out today.
Only dropped to 4 bars.

7 satellites sounds very low, GPS only? Perhaps your current correction signal does not cover other GNSS systems. How many satellites does your receiver report when in autonomous mode (no correction)?

 

[Badshot]

I'm not sure I can get autonomous on this.
I'm not interfering today either.
The rtk radio signal is dropping out a lot today, which hadn't happened at all until this afternoon.
Have had half an hour of it running mostly on xfill with brief interludes of radio.
Currently still on 7 sats.
Was on 8 earlier .

 

[Badshot]

In the end it was an hour and a half with the rtk signal mucking about

Perfect again now.

I agree, 7 satellites looks like the display isn't unlocked for Glonass.
Autonomous is called uncorrected on that display.

I'll look tomorrow.
It's got beidou listed, where do I find if it's unlocked to glonass?

7 sats is very low unless under a tree, also NTRIP far more reliable for correction than radio, need glonass on machine receiver and RTK base, egnos correction completely irrelevant for RTK

There is a tab somewhere that will tell what unlocks it has, I think it's in the system setup

 

[Badshot]

Yes glonass is locked.

How do I get it unlocked?

 

[Slick]

Give your dealer the display serial number and some money and they'll give you a code.
