A new ReachView update is out. We’ve started shipping the shiny new Reach RS and user feedback is already coming in. Thanks for the fast reports! If you have ReachView v2.2.4 or later, then you should receive a notification inside ReachView the next time you boot your receiver.
Reach now includes drivers for USB modems. You can configure the modem on your PC and then just plug it in your Reach via the OTG cable. Overall, usage should be seamless, but Linux might not support every device you try. We’ve had a chance to try the following two models: ZTE MF 823 and Huawei E171. Feel free to share your results, so we can expand the list of tested modems.
Bug fixes
RCH-592 Fixed an app crash, which happened if you turn off the base output configured to use LoRa
RCH-529 Reworked USB-OTG on Reach RS. It didn’t function properly on the pre-production units, but now those days are in the past.
1.) Base collects samples and has position
2.) Enable base corrections outbound via LoRa using default channel 868, select 2kb from the drop down, hit apply, not enabled
3.) Refresh screen, drop down prompts to select speed, and speed values are grayed out and not selectable
The air rates gradually get greyed out, as you select more RTCM3 messages for output. The more you select(including frequency), the less choice you have in terms of air rate, which also affects maximum range(the lesser the further).
It is possible to choose a message combination that will be too much for all LoRa air rates, however it’s usually impractical.
Just attempted to reproduce the glitchiness and not able to. The steps taken previously required switching to a different output method(TCP), applying the new output method(TCP), then disabling correction output would completely disable.
i tested Reach as a rover with LTE USB Modem (ZTE MF 823) via OTG. Seems to be some issues with it: When connecting the USB Modem to Reach the SNR from all Satellites falls immediataly to Zero after the Modem builds up a connection to the Internet. If i unplug the Modem from reach, SNR from all Satellites are comming back. I use NTRIP for correction Input. When disabling correction Input in ReachView, i can connect the Modem without loosing SNR.
I tested the modem on an USB-Port of a laptop and the modem works like expected.
I`m using ReachView v2.2.7
Thanks for response.
At first Reach is connected via WLAN to the Internet. That works fine.
When i connect the modem and WLAN-Internet-Connection is also available, everythink is ok ( I think, that reach prefers the WLAN-Connection instead of the USB-Modem). But when i disable the Wifi in ReachView (or switching reach to Hotspotmode) i thought Reach have to use USB-Modem. In that moment SNR crashes to zero.
The USB-Modem works without any configuration on my Laptop. I only removed the pin-code from my sim-card so that internet-Connection will established automaticly.
