Receive formats for the SPS985L, SPS985/SPS986, and SPS855 450 MHz GNSS rover receivers

The 450 MHz radio in the following SPS GNSS receiver models support new radio modes when in rover mode:

  • SPS985L – All models with the 450 MHz internal radio
  • SPS985/SPS986 – Receiver P/N 82500‐61, ‐66 (in kits P/N 81985‐61, ‐66, P/N 85985‐61, and ‐66)
  • SPS855 – Receiver P/N 69855‐61 (in kits P/N 81855‐61, P/N 91555‐61, P/N 85985‐61, and ‐66)

SPS GNSS receiver models other than the above do not support the receive formats shown in the table below.

On sites where the base radio is a SATEL 450 MHz model:

The SPS rover receiver can receive messages with the SATEL format. To help understand the SATEL format on the base radio, the SATEL radio menu terms are:

  • ‘Error corr.’ means FEC Forward Error Correction.
  • ‘Error Check’ means a checksum is added to the base messages Base. For use with SPS GNSS rover radios, turn this off at the base radio.

On sites where the base radio is transmitting the Pacific Crest (Trimble) PCC Transparent EOT format:

  1. Determine what over‐the‐air data rate is set to (4800, and so on), whether FEC is on or off, and whether Scrambling is on or off.
  2. Select the correct mode in the SPS receiver.
