Facet L-Band Direct v4.1 - Error: PointPerfect corrections currently supported by ZED-F9P firmware v1.30 and above

Hi

I just received my RTK Facet L-Band and I am not getting L-Band corrections.

Error: PointPerfect corrections currently supported by ZED-F9P firmware v1.30 and above.

The serial console shows this unit is running ZED-F9P firmware: HPG 1.13

Do i really need to slog through this process to get L-Band corrections working ?

HPG 1.13 is over 4 years old, it doesn’t understand SPARTN/L-BAND format data.
You need at least HPG 1.30 to support SPARTN v2.01
