Base & Rover radio technology
Does anyone know what model internal radio Trimble uses for the R10 receiver? Also, do the newer R10’s share the same radio the old R10’s used when first announced?
In recent years it seems some manufacturers have moved to faster radio technology.
From Leica:
In June of 2016, Leica SmartWorx Viva v6.00 Release Notes explained Leica’s reasoning for moving to a new (Satel M3-TR4) radio. “This radio employs new technology which allows a greater amount of RTK data to be transferred between the RTK base and RTK rover. This becomes increasingly important with the ever increasing number of GNSS satellites and signals available to be used.“
This could/would be a negative for having only internal radios if they can not be changed out or upgraded. You would be stuck with what was in there when you bought it. The Leica GS15 has slot radios with the newer technology which can be used to replace the older slot radios. What about other manufacturers?
Thanks,
