SparkFun RTK Facet L-Band

GPS/GNSS Development Boards

I recently purchased a SparkFun RTK Facet L-Band with the understanding that I wouldn’t need a base station to get RTK Fix of 14mm to 20mm. I’ve had this unit out several times and it has yet to get RTK Fix. It gets DGPS and single fix. It has updated the Keys twice now and I still can’t get RTK Fix. Is there some reason why it won’t RTK Fix. Is there something I need to do different. Any help would be appreciated

Hello - congrats on your L-Band unit! You’ve got keys so you should be all set.

Just to confirm:

  • Are you located within the 48 US states or the EU? Corrections only work in certain areas.

  • Are you seeing the triple dish?

This icon indicates you are getting data from the corrections satellite.

  • Are you seeing a blinking double cross hair? This indicates RTK float.

Thank-you for your reply. Everything is working correctly. I’m satisfied with the way the unit performs.

Excellent! Glad to hear it. Can you tell me what the problem was? We’re always interested in making our documentation better if something was confusing.
