1. B 4 HiPer Pro Operator s Manual Appendix C UHF Radio Usage K NOTICE Many countries require a license for radio users such as the United States Be sure you comply with all local laws while operating a UHF radio Surveying in RTK mode has made UHF the most popular choice for communications between Base and Rover receivers Know the strengths and weaknesses of this technology to get the best use out of your receiver The quality and strength of the UHF signals translates into range for UHF communications 1 The system s range will greatly depend on the local conditions Topography local communications and even meteorological conditions play a major role in the possible range of RTK communications If needed use a scanner to find clear channels for communication 2 Your system s range will increase by adjusting the antenna of your Base station in one of the following ways e Ensure the Base radio has a fully charged battery e Use directional antennas and or repeaters to increase your system s range Directional antennas concentrate the signal power within a more narrow direction significantly increasing the range of your system e Check out the TPS accessory line for various items to raise your Base radio P N 7010 0681 C 1 UHF Radio Usage Notes C 2 HiPer Pro Operator s Manual Appendix
