Setting up a rover receiver on a belt or in a backpack
If you prefer to work free of the weight of a pole, you can mount the rover receiver on a
belt (SPS770 or SPSx50 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.
