Conflicting answers on forum. RS+/RS2 as base/rover

[dmitriy.ershov]

Hi all,

I’d like to emphasise that RS2 rover gets fix very rarely when it is obtaining the corrections from RS+ base. Check this comment from Gleb:

RS2 and RS+ Compatibility

Hi @jrbcast, I just wanted to clarify that this setup works only in one way: Reach RS2 as a base and Reach RS+ as a rover. Note, you won’t get the advantages of a multi-frequency receiver in such a configuration. In the case of Reach RS2 as a rover, it requires multi-band corrections to operate correctly. That’s why it won’t work with Reach RS+ base. Do you know that Reach RS2 provides larger baselines: 60km in RTK and 100km in PPK? How far is your nearest NTRIP station?

Looks like Reach RS2 fits much better for your working conditions. You can connect RS2 to the Internet and get the corrections from NTRIP, both base stations should work fine. Make sure you use corrections in RTCM format.
