We generally recommend using your cellular phone as the radio backhaul for RTCM but you can also use your own, higher power radios as long as they support 57600bps. We also recommend logging all data to your phone over Bluetooth®. This is as simple as checking a box within SW Maps. But if you prefer to do long surveys, or need to deal with RAWX measurements where a phone will not be present, a microSD card should be purchased (any size up to 32GB).

Please keep in mind that you will need to provide your own mono-pod or tripod as well as a cell-phone type holder for securing the RTK Express to your mono-pod or tripod. We’ve found this style clamp and this style clamp work well. Your mileage may vary.

Note: The L1/L2 antenna has a 5/8″ thread which will fit most surveying platforms. The kit includes a 5/8″ to 1/4″ adapter as well which will fit most camera mono-pods and tripods. You may need additional adapters for your specific equipment.
