Looking at antennas on ardusimples site, so far I’ve used the ann-mb-00 in a single setup with the F9P and have been fine with its performance. I’m planning on setting up the rest of our equipment with ag open and am going to go with a dual GPS setup instead and wondered if that ANN-MB-00 was sufficient or if there was performance to be gained by this triple band antenna or the dual band budget version of it.
Obviously the F9P isn’t capable of taking full advantage of the triple band but didn’t know if there was some other advantage I wasn’t seeing.
The triple band antenna won’t gain anything unless you switch to a chip that can process triple band data. (Zed x20p, UM982, ect.)
I run dual antenna with dual zed F9P’s and the budget survey antenna. It works very well.
I think the budget survey antenna has a very slight edge over the ANN patch antenna, but it is very slight. My only evidence is this past spring I drove in a field with an ANN patch antenna on a tractor under some trees, it momentarily lost position. Then a couple hours later ran through with the sprayer with the budget survey antenna and it did not loose position. Most of the time I couldn’t tell the difference.
