AgGPS® radio with base station

Base station components
The base station consists of a GPS receiver with a small display screen (1), a GPS disk antenna (2), an RTK radio (3)
and a broadcast antenna (4) for communicating with multiple autoguidance-equipped vehicles (5) at the same time.
The autoguidance-equipped vehicle has its own GPS receiver for the GPS signal and a radio receiver to receive the
local information from the base station.
The tripod (6) is an optional, portable solution for locating the base station at a consistent location in a field during field
work. An alternative might be as simple as a steel post driven into the ground at a location where it will be available
from season to season without being disturbed.
A radio repeater (7) is also shown. This is a solution for extending the base station output around a large obstruction.
NOTE: The base station must be set up and operating before a successful connection between the vehicle and the
base station is possible.
