Hi all,
I have 3xRS2s, one for transmitting RTK corrections via NTRIP for my drone to run RTK. This RS2 is on a fixed base and works fine.
The second one is also a base, transmitting LORA for my rover RS2.
I do this so I can fly the drone and measure GCPs at the same time. I do not have mobile phone reception, the base is connected to the internet via Starlink.
My question:
is there a suggested distance to keep the two bases away from each other? I understand they will have slightly different base coordinates in order to match drone RTK to GCP RTK coordinates. I just want to ensure there will be no interference. Only one will be transmitting via LORA so I can’t see how it would matter, but better to ask.
There shouldn’t be any issue as long as the drone base has LoRa disabled because it is using NTRIP. They don’t allow both at the same time. Is the drone base casting over the internet or are you using local NTRIP? Are both bases on the same coordinate basis? Meaning did you set both points from the same source and then occupy each using the designed workflow in Flow?
Local NTRIP and LoRa shouldn’t interfere with each other, so there’s no specific minimum distance requirement between the bases.
Also, to ensure consistency between the results from both bases, it’s important that they are set up using the same coordinate system. I’d echo Michael’s questions on this.
