UHF Radio Usage
NOTICE
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.
Surveying in RTK mode has made UHF the most popular choice for
communications between Base and Rover receivers. Know the
strengths and weaknesses of this technology to get the best use out of
your receiver.
The quality and strength of the UHF signals translates into range for
UHF communications.
1. 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.
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.
• Use directional antennas and/or repeaters to increase your
system’s range. Directional antennas concentrate the signal
power within a more narrow direction, significantly
increasing the range of your system.
• Check out the TPS accessory line for various items to raise
your Base radio.
