Many countries require a license for radio users (such as the United States). Be sure you comply with all
local laws while operating a UHF radio.
Surveying in RTK mode has made UHF the most popular choice for communications between base and
rover modems. Know the strengths and weaknesses of this technology to get the best use out of your
modem.
The quality and strength of the UHF signals translates into range for UHF communications.
The system's range will greatly depend on the local conditions. Topography, local communications and
even meteorological conditions play a major role in the possible range of RTK communications.
If needed, use a scanner to find clear channels for communication.
