StarFire Mobile RTK

John Deere Mobile RTK (M-RTK) signal is an RTK solution that provides RTK level accuracy over a cellular based network. Base stations within this network are linked together by a central server. JDLink equipped machines utilize these base station corrections using cellular signal and send them to the StarFire 3000 or StarFire 6000 Receiver.

Correction Type - Select JD Mobile RTK Signal from Correction Type drop-down list.

Corrections Age - Indicates M-RTK correction data stream during maximum correction message age (MCMA).

NOTE: Status bar is green when M-RTK correction is streaming. It is red when M-RTK correction streaming is not detected during MCMA.

NOTE: If status bar displays red while StarFire system status bars display green, there is a problem with M-RTK. Check Correction Type and RTK Port Configuration, and then contact your John Deere dealer.
