GPS 6500
Tech Specs: As a fully scalable, rugged receiver, the new GPS 6500 from Ag Leader Technology utilizes GLIDE, WAAS/EGNOS, TerraStar and RTK correction signals. Quick convergence times and the StableLoc signal retention system ensures growers will always have a reliable GPS signal. As a full-featured, easy-to-install system, the receiver can be combined with one of four RTK relay offerings — 900, 400, CDMA or GSM. Relay 900 or Relay 400 also offers base station functionality and all relays are ideal for machine guidance, tiling and other operations where sub-inch accuracy is needed. These relays were designed to meet the challenging need of extended RTK base lines in excess of 20 miles.
