RTK Face off - Trimble vs Emlid vs Spectra

#NiceVid

Those who have not used a new generation receiver like the R12 should get out and try one.
They genuinely are a big improvement on what we had previously.
Just so much better, especially under canopy and where conditions are dodgy

The maximum residuals from the R12 fully obstructed points were pretty impressive to me.

The Emlid RS2 RS2+ RS3 and M2 are L1 and L2 only. Versus the Trimble R12 which are apples to oranges. Big difference in which does better under canopy. Benchmark has videos of their Hemispheres up against Trimble also.

Depending on ones needs for the money, you cannot beat Emlid, much less their great ecosystem.... unless you hobble together equipment from Sparkfun or Ardusimple... which are rock bottom cheapest route.

Everyone has their own needs and tolerance levels required. Emlid caters a lot to the drone crowd.

I thought your FALSE FIX thread recently looked familiar?! 😜

Am I the only one that finds it "funny" that Emlid puts "L5" directly on the receiver head yet it is not capable of receiving L5 corrections?

I'm not sure how they can defend that not being false advertising.

But yes I agree, great bang for you buck with the Emlids.

No, you are not the only one.

There have been discussions about this over at Emlid's community.

I think they are passing Galileo E5b off as L5, and "multi-band" instead of "dual-band". Personally I think it's somewhere in between as a ignorant mistake and "trickery" as it is NOT printed on the new RS3 (TILT and UHF receive).
