Your HiPer+ may be equipped with one of the following
communication boards (however, your receiver may also
be configured without a radio/modem):
• UHF modem – a Pacific Crest PDL (Positioning
Data Link) modem; either a 450–470 MHz or 430–
450 MHz; receiving only.
• Spread Spectrum – either a 915 MHz or 2.4 GHz
modem.
• GSM – dual-band, dual-user cell phone frequency
modem (Europe and Japan: 900/1800 MHz; USA
and Canada: 900/1900 MHz).
• Broadcast data receiver – a TPS-BDR
communication board for receiving differential
corrections from DGPS radio beacons and
geostationary L-band satellites broadcasting
OmniStar® data.
The Base station operator is responsible for complying
with local regulations for radio operation. In the US, the
FCC regulates the use of radio transmitters, requiring a
license. Broadcasting without a license can result in
severe penalties including the confiscation of your radio
and GPS+ equipment. Please call TPS Customer Support
if you need advice on obtaining the proper license in the
USA.
The internal PDL radio modem comes with a number of
preset frequencies programmed at TPS.
WARNING
The use of these preset frequencies without
a license is illegal. Contact your local
