That's 17.4km, a record distance for me, ususally the radio runs out at 5 or 6 miles.

I got the inverse to prove it! Took a few shots at the far end, plenty of radio there.

Mike, where is the link to the pix?

not to burst your bubble, but i had a nearly 20km baseline with the yellow stuff...i think, given favorable terrain and atmospheric conditions, the potential length of an RTK baseline is relative to your pain threshold and error budget...

10+ miles using ONLY a PDL radio link is pretty impressive. What was your shot accuracy and your occupation times in obtaining those multiple shots Mike?

20km isn't too bad either, what's the occupation time for the "other" equipment and accuracy on those shots using only a radio modem link?

Gotta love those Pac Crest PDL's!

the radios were their proprietary brand, the occupation times were 5 seconds...the accuracy, at least as indicated was around 0.07', as memory serves me...it was a science project, as we were having radio trouble at the time...we snuck in some kinematic control shots at around 10-12 miles out in the desert in SE Utah...the base was at an altitude of 5600 feet, the rover was at an altitude of around 5000...there were no obstructions and being on the Navajo reservation and all, no interference...i seem to recall our accuracies were under a tenth or so, and i seem to recall checking into a control point at about 0.15'...this episode wasn't a science project, but rather an act of desperation...

Pac Crest are awesome! We had some older Pacs, we were limited to <5 miles. Once we bought some Pac Crest PDL's, we were shooting over 15 miles!
