Real-Time Kinematic surveying relies on a live data-link between the two receivers. Modern GNSS receivers have an integrated radio to provide this link at a broadcast power of one to two watts. By connecting an external radio data-link, like the Harxon HX-DU8608D, your survey range can go from a 3-4 km radius to a 35 km radius.
A base booster radio is a cost-effective method of broadening your survey reach. When paired with an antenna tripod, your reach can extend up to 35 km from your base. Bench Mark Equipment and Supplies has new and used stock available with prices varying accordingly.
An external base radio can also function as a repeater radio. A repeater radio receives the corrections broadcast by the base on its internal radio and re-broadcasts them. This allows you to extend the reach of your RTK corrections into dead zones in your survey area.
