Got agleader 1200 rtk system, been a real bitch this year dropping signal and tonight has me reaching for the hammer.

I’m a technical luddite but looking at the screen it looks to have all the info it needs to work.

It is refusing to give me rtk 4cm accuracy. Will manage 10cm, but I’m ridging veg beds so 10 isn’t good enough.

Been dropping randomly once or twice per run, but now given up completely. I’ve spent half my time this evening sat waiting on it and have had enough. Only a 4 ha block but it’s taken me almost 2hrs to do 2ha.

For £650/yr licence I’d quite like this bollox to do its job.

When it stops working the rtk throughput drops to 0%, then comes back to 100%
but still won’t allow auto steer for up to 10 mins.



Thought the whole point of 2 sims was it jumped between the 2 to ensure as few black spots as possible 🤷🏻‍♂️

What system do you sell?
I own an independent RTK network we have base stations all over England and Wales and some in Scotland. if we do not have coverage in your area we are always open to discussions on offering free RTK if the farmer is willing to let us install a reference station at their farm.

we are looking for a strong customer base who return year after year so our tech support and customer services are very good.

the reason we offer an extremely good price is that we own the data, we do not lease it from another supplier.

Do you have any base stations in Wiltshire near Bath?

Set up your own free rtk base (details below in signature). Get a 4-network unsteered SIM from v12.co.uk and save yourself a fortune.

From your screenshot tho, it looks like a modem/signal issue rather than GPS. Your reception for that seems fine. At that stage, I wouldn't say it was an rtk issue. But 650 a year... Wow.

Have a look on monitor.use-snip.com with rtk2go.com and port 2101 in details, there might be a station near you already.
