FAQs

Pacific Crest is widely recognized for high-performance external radios and wireless data-link solutions used in GNSS RTK surveying. These radios are designed to deliver reliable correction transmission, long communication range, and stable operation in demanding field conditions.

An RTK repeater receives correction signals from a base station radio and rebroadcasts them to extend coverage into areas blocked by terrain, vegetation, or distance. Repeaters are commonly used on large job sites where direct line-of-sight communication is limited.

Survey range can be extended by using a higher-power external base radio, elevated antenna placement, and proper frequency configuration. External radios such as high-power ADL-series units can significantly expand usable RTK coverage compared to low-power internal receiver radios.

Actual range depends on terrain, antenna height, interference, and radio configuration. Under favorable line-of-sight conditions, high-power base radios can support RTK communication across very large survey areas, making them suitable for construction, infrastructure, and corridor projects.

Yes. Pacific Crest radios commonly support industry-standard communication protocols, allowing integration with many professional GNSS receiver systems. Compatibility should always be confirmed for the specific receiver and workflow being used.

External radios are preferred when projects require longer communication distances, stronger signal reliability, or repeater capability. They are especially useful on large construction sites, rural survey areas, and locations with signal obstructions.

A complete setup typically includes the radio, antenna, power source, mounting hardware or tripod, and appropriate cables for GNSS receiver connection. Proper installation is essential to achieve maximum RTK performance and stability.

Yes. Compared with deploying additional base stations or switching correction networks, a high-power external radio is often the most practical and economical way to extend RTK coverage across large project areas.
