SPS361 receiver optional features

Integrated dual-channel IALA Beacon capability allows the use of free MSK Beacon correction transmissions without an extra receiver or antenna (requires an GAx30 antenna, included in kit. See also GNSS antenna chart.)

SPS461 receiver optional features

The SPS461 is available in the following hardware configurations:

  • Integrated dual-channel MSK Beacon receiver

  • Internal 450 MHz (410 MHz to 470 MHz band) receive-only radio with integrated dual-channel MSK Beacon receiver

  • Internal 900 MHz receive-only radio

The following options and upgrades are available for the SPS461 receiver:

  • Location RTK, includes OmniSTAR XP/HP support

  • Location RTK with Precise Vertical (PV), includes OmniSTAR XP/HP support

  • Precise RTK

Rover

  • 5 Hz, 10 Hz, or 20 Hz measurement update rate (20 Hz maximum in Heading mode)

  • Precise GPS Heading

  • Base station-free rover capability within a VRS network

  • Base station-free rover capability using OmniSTAR services
