Reach Firmware 32 enhances Reach RS3 compatibility with surveying software

We are announcing the release of Reach Firmware 32, our latest update packed with new features, improvements, and crucial fixes. This update ensures seamless integrations of Reach RS3 across various surveying apps and enhances the performance of Reach receivers.

Key features and improvements

Enhanced Reach RS3 capabilities

  • With this update, Reach RS3 can send NMEA GGA and GST messages with compensated position data, improving accuracy and compatibility with third-party software.
  • Improved tilt compensation and better RTCM3.2 reception over UHF radio. This improves the precise performance and range of communications in demanding environments.


Updated NMEA settings

Log management updates

  • The updated log list interface simplifies log management, making it easier to navigate and operate.
  • You can now rename logs and split them at 00:00 UTC, enhancing organizational capabilities and data management.
  • We’ve made it possible to download logs and generate a full system report even when the system is stuck or self-tests fail, ensuring efficient troubleshooting and support.


Updated Logging tab

Other notable improvements

  • We’ve resolved issues where Wi-Fi would fail to reconnect to lost networks, ensuring stable and continuous operation.
  • Our update improves the stability of firmware updates over mobile data, minimizing interruptions and ensuring smoother updates.
  • We’ve removed the first-time setup. You can now operate a receiver without rebooting right out of the box if there are no critical updates.
  • We’ve introduced a single antenna height storage. Now, if you enter the antenna height in one tab (e.g. in Logging or Base mode), it will be applied across other app tabs.

We fixed

  • Cases where Emlid Flow loses connection with Reach when opening the list of available logs.
  • Cases where the available update is not visible when Reach is connected to the internet via SIM card.
  • Cases where Wi-Fi fails to reconnect to a lost network.
  • Cases where the UBX log could not start correctly.
  • Tilt Compensation status notifications for Reach RS3.
  • Cases where Reach firmware update was not possible via mobile data.
  • Cases where no error message is displayed after a failed update attempt.
  • Cases with no decimal digits in the antenna height settings on iOS devices.
  • Some cases where changing the Reach name could fail.
  • Some cases where Reach RS3 couldn’t be charged properly.

Reach Firmware 32 is available for Reach RS3/RS2+/RS2/RS+ and Reach M2/M+ receivers.

Hi @geodezja-skwierzyna,

Can you please elaborate on your experience with the Bluetooth connection? Is it not available in Emlid Flow?

fault fixed and problem with tilt compensate, NMEA do not sent compensate
firmware 32.5 beta more stable

Hi Udac,

I tested the NMEA messages from Reach RS3 with firmware version 32, and it worked fine. The streamed positions were tilt-compensated. Can you please share some more details about what you experienced in your survey? Did you face an issue with particular NMEA messages?

Hello. reconfiguring the bluetooth connection fixed the problem. everything with bluetooth is ok.
