FAQs

Harxon radios are external communication devices used in RTK GNSS workflows to transmit correction data from a base station to a rover receiver. This radio link enables survey crews to achieve centimeter-level positioning accuracy in real time.

The range of a Harxon radio depends on power output, antenna type, terrain, and line-of-sight conditions. In typical surveying environments, RTK radio links may operate from a few kilometers up to several tens of kilometers when properly configured.

Yes. Many Harxon radios support multiple communication protocols such as TrimTalk, Satel, Transparent, and other industry formats, allowing them to work with a wide range of GNSS receivers used in surveying and construction applications.

Most Harxon radio kits are designed for straightforward deployment in the field. Once the radio is connected to the base station or rover and configured to the correct frequency and protocol, it can begin transmitting or receiving RTK correction data.

External radios are commonly used when cellular coverage is unavailable or unreliable, such as on remote construction sites, mining operations, or rural surveying projects. Radio links allow a local base station to transmit corrections directly to rover receivers.

Several factors influence radio performance, including antenna height, transmission power, terrain obstacles, frequency settings, and atmospheric conditions. Proper antenna placement and clear line-of-sight can significantly improve communication range and reliability.
