Any Florida Trimble users tracking Galileo sats with DOT FPRN?
All our Leica GS15 and 18t’s can receive both VRS and iMAX based MSM4 corrections on the Florida FPRN network thru NTRIP Port 10000. MSM4 based corrections includes the L5 and Galileo signals, and have made a tremendous difference in canopy conditions.
A while back I picked up a clean used Trimble R10/TSC3 system, with the intention of experiencing firsthand all the hoopla re the “king” of GNSS. Well, I haven’t found it yet. But, I’m sure it’s because I’m a slow learner. It doesn’t help either,that I have not been able to find anyone around these parts who uses Trimble.
So, I’m putting this question out there for some Trimble gurus who can hopefully steer me in the right direction. So far I have gone down the entire list of Trimble message type options, and none of them allow VRS based corrections using Galileo (have not looked to see what L5 is doing, but I think since Galileo is missing the L5 is likely missing too).
The only time I have been able to track Galileo on the R10 is when I select (from the Trimble options list) “Multistation (RTCM)”, which brings up the source table which includes “MSM4_Near”. Although this will track Galileo sats, however, this is single base line based corrections. What I really want is the virtual reference station type of corrections. Either VRS or iMAX would do, but so far I am unable to get the R10 to give me the option.
Incidentally, I can select “VRS(RTCM)” in the Trimble options list, and the source table listing includes: “MSM4_VRS”, and “MSM4_IMAX”. However, when I select one or the other the satellites tracked listing does not include Galileo.
Surely, it must be something I am overlooking in the R10 settings. Some of my Galileo/L5 optioned GS15’s are nearly 10 years old, and they are performing remarkably well.
Any help at all is much appreciated.
