Centre county Pennsylvania, USA | Thanks for progress report Don. I noticed you were using a local CORS station as your RTK reference, That surely would significantly reduce RTK life cycle cost to farmer users if they were within 20 mile range of a CORS station that provides RTK correction cell phone modem service. CORs stations seem to be available within 20 mile range of many US farmers (ours is 5 crow miles from home farm), but I can't find any that provide RTK corrections VIA cell phone modem. Here is link to CORS station map:

Was the RTK correction VIA cell phone service already available from the CORS station you are using, or did the company you were beta testing for provide that upgrade to your local CORS station as part of their system? Not asking for any trade secrets so no answer is proper answer if it involves trade secrets.
Thanks
