Hi all

Can anyone please tell me what the max distance to NTRIP base using Sparkfun RTK Facet?

I am surveying a river bed in Ayr, Queensland, Australia

There are 2 NTRIP bases 35km and 45km away

There is cellular reception via optus network in the river.

I can possibly get telstra network

I was also looking at just getting the RTCM correction through Skylark.

I am new to all this. Am I on the right path or not?

I would like to use SW Maps for this as its all volunteer work.

There is no direct answer in the hookup guide and manual. From this paper, looks like it is 15 km. https://www.researchgate.net/publicatio … plications

Hi,

I’m seeing references to “roughly 30 kilometer radius from the nearest base station” in the u-blox papers:

(PointPerfect is u-blox’s own augmentation service)

It is early days and we are still building experience, but we are very impressed with Skylark’s service.

Best wishes,

Paul
