Setting up the Receiver 5
Setting up a rover receiver on a belt or in a backpack
If you prefer to work free of the weight of the receiver on a pole, you can mount the
rover receiver on a belt (SPSx50 or SPSx51 only) or carry it in/on a backpack (all
receivers). When you wear the receiver on a belt, ensure that the display is always
visible so that you can easily check the status of the receiver. If you carry the receiver in
a backpack, use an external radio antenna mount to allow for optimal radio signal
reception. If you use a low gain antenna mounted directly on the receiver in a
backpack, it may affect the radio signal reception and reduce the likelihood of
obtaining an RTK Fixed solution.
