    GPS Issues

    I'm having lots of issues with Satellite
    Drift. Any one else suffering?

    What correction are you using? WAAS?

      noticed more drift today than any other day this
      spring and also much less this spring than any
      other year noticed a couple feet at the most
      pass per pass but really rare i think no problem
      . using outback

        I am new to gps, bought a outback lite, works great north and south or at an angle, east and west looks like i drank a bottle of vodka before noon. Odd.

          makar: no that is not unusual, satellites the way
          they are positioned in the sky, give you more
          accuracy traveling north and south. Mine locked
          up a couple nights ago, do not know what the
          hell happened. Dam near spun the tractor on a
          90. Would not even disengage with foot switch.
          rebooted and in four or five minutes picked up
          satellites and worked fine again.

              Subscribed to rtx this season for the seeder
              tractor. Incredibly accurate. Well worth the
              investment. Virtually zero drift even after 24
              hours. Sub centimetre accuracy as advertised.

                I almost grabbed mine and threw it out the door the other day. Was driving me nuts all spring. This was an S2. Finally got fed up and swapped it out with an old S and it's working great. What the hell gives?

                    Deere 2630 and 3000 receiver on SF1, no issues all spring, any angle any direction. Returns to the line next day. But it costs a lot more...

                      Front of cab. Caseih 600 quad. Don't believe rtx
                      uses a tower. All through satellite I believe. Not to
                      be confused with rtk 1600 for annual subscription
                      or 4500 bundle for up to ten units. Not cheap I
                      know but impressed with the accuracy

                        Sun spots last week caused some of the issues. Some big flares the last 7 days. Causes interuptions in Sat signals.

                            As another member stated. Deere 2630 , I run
                            the sf2 signal. Yes pricey but accurate and ZERO
                            issues. Get what you pay for...

                              East West accuracy gets lower as you
                              move north because more if not all of
                              the satellites are to the south,
                              therefore the entire constellation
                              shifts from left to right and vise versa
                              every time you turn. Any type of
                              correction will simply reduce that
                              effect. Deere has a better gyro in my
                              opinion and that goes a long way toward
                              keeping those lines straight.
