Did upgrading to the XLR solve all issues?
What distances are you getting and in what conditions? I ask because I would have quite a few trees and some slight hills.
I am trying to figure out how to send radio corrections via Stefal RTKBase. Which serial to radio adapter do I need? I currently have a XLR starter kit from Ardusimple. Is there a way to output messages to RTKBase and the xbee header directly on the RTK2B or do I need to use a serial to radio adapter from the RTKBase? I would like to have the options of running either radio or NTRIP is the reason I am using the RTKBase.
I believe you have several options. You could configure the RTK2B receiver to feed RTKBase via USB and another set of messages to the xbee header and have the radio attached there.
You could also use the normal RTKBase configuration and attach the XLR radio to an Xbee USB carrier (I assume it can provide enough power for the XLR radio). RTKBase would feed RTK corrections via the serial output.
The latter would allow a messages like RTCM 1008 through the radio interface too. Not possible if the radio was on the xbee header.
Thanks for the reply! I will need 1008 messages for trimble I believe, so I will need to go the second route. https://www.ardusimple.com/product/usb-c-carrier-board-for-xbee-plugins/
Would this be what I need?
Also wondering if I can run a long usb cable using this setup instead of the short sma or will I loose data like on a long sma cable?
Depends how long
Is 20ft doable?
I bought this module for another project, I would like to know if it would work to send base-rover RTK corrections. I was unsure about the number of bytes it sends. And how would I connect Stefal’s base?
Seems this device works with a TTL level serial port, you could wire it directly to the Raspberry Pi serial port.
Need to configure it to a higher than 2.4k speed. I guess you have another one of these for the rover?
And your system sends data for all constellations?

OK, that should fit into the 9.6 kbps radio but it does add some latency, sub second not critical though.
How do you connect it to the 2.X/4.X PCB?
What about the Ardusimple F9P?
For rover i use e22400t22dc. I connected it directly to uart2 f9p
