APPENDIX D
UHF Radio Usage
Notice:
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.
Working in RTK mode has made UHF the most popular choice for
communications between Base a
nd Rover receivers. The user should know the
strengths and weaknesses of this technology to get the best use out of your
Maxor system.
The quality and strength on the UHF signals translates in
to the range of your
UHF communications. The following concepts will help you get the most out of
your UHF based communication systems:
1. Your 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 your RTK communications. A 35 Watt
base radio will allow your Maxor system to reach distances of up to 12 miles
u
sing the standard antenna, depending on local conditions. Distances in the
order of 4 to 7 miles (6 to 11 km) can be easily reached.
Tip:
Use a scanner to find clear channels for
communication.
2. Your system's range will increase by adjusting the antenna of your Base
station in one of the following ways.
• Ensure the Base radio has a fully charged battery.
