Rover System Setup

As with the base system, the rover system resides in a transport case with the excep-
tion of one component, the rover pole. Within the case, you will find the same two
bags holding the system components, as shown in Figure 4.7.

Figure 4.7 Rover Transport Case

For the rover system, the Kit bag holds the Z-Xtreme receiver, rover radio (if internal
radio is not used), GPS antenna, handheld computer, radio antenna, and some
cables. The Accessories bag will hold miscellaneous items such as handheld pole
bracket and HI measurement device.
The Kit bag includes shoulder straps to allow it to be used as the rover backpack. If
you prefer to have the rover system pole-mounted (all components on the rover pole
removing the need for a backpack), an optional kit can be purchased for this purpose.
As with the base system, it is recommended that the rover system be examined prior
to leaving for the field to ensure all components are present.
Once in the field, execute the following steps to set up your RTK rover system.
