This will provide a great stress relief for the antenna connection. Now attach your SMA antenna of choice.
Be Careful! U.FL connectors are easily damaged. Make sure the connectors are aligned, flush face to
face (not at an angle), then press down using a rigid blunt edge such as the edge of a PCB or point of a small
flat head screwdriver.
If you're indoors you must run a SMA extension cable long enough to locate the antenna where it has a clear view
of the sky. That means no trees, buildings, walls, vehicles, or concrete metally things between the antenna and the
sky. Be sure to mount the antenna on a 4"/10cm metal ground plate to increase reception.
Connecting the GPS-RTK to a Correction Source
Before you go out into the field it's good to understand how to get RTCM data and how to pipe it to the GPS-RTK.
For this example we will show how to get correction data from the UNAVCO network, pull that data in using
RTKLIB, and pipe it down over serial to the GPS-RTK.
