8 RTK Mapping
If subsequent base coordinates are not in the same terms, you will
need to regard data associated with each base as a separate project.
That is, data collected in terms of one base station cannot be assumed
to be accurate with respect to data collected in terms of a second base
station.
Extending base station coverage with radio repeaters
You can extend the range of a base station by using radio repeaters to
rebroadcast the base signal over a wider area. For more information on
radio repeaters, see Radio repeaters, page 203.
8.3.1 Setting Up a Base Station
Planning is important if you want to collect data successfully. Before
commencing data collection, plan a field methodology that enables
you to successfully achieve the goals of the data collection process.
You must start the base receiver before the roving receiver. If different
field crews set up the base and roving receivers, the roving crew must
be sure that the base has been started before they start to collect
features. Obviously, radio corrections are not available until the base
is started. It is a good idea to plan a schedule before leaving the office
and use walkie-talkie radios or mobile phones to communicate
between the base and rover crews.
