Disabling all repeaters today stopped bad CMR

We were spraying today within 5km of the base station and having the bad CMR DATA problem.  Since the repeaters were not required I switched them to another channel – disabling them.  The problem went away.  I’ll need to reactivate the repeaters tomorrow

Configuration Change

The RTK network has been working faultlessly with Controlled Broadcast turned off. However CMR % has been in the low 90% range and fallen as low as 25% in the middle of the night at Repeater1. I’ve decided to turn TURBO Mode back on. Testing so far seems to indicate that it’s the SNB900 radios [...]

Finally spraying again

The wind dropped to 12 kph after peaking at 32kph earlier today so we got one tank of chemical out this evening.  The Delta T was 5.2 so conditions were ideal. One of the major benefits of having RTK on the sprayer is sticking to the exact same wheel tracks especially in the wetter country [...]
