• Set up Bluetooth communication with the GPS: General Survey -> Instruments -> GNSS functions -> Bluetooth
  • identify both the rover and the base GPS here.
• Set the Survey Style: Main Menu -> Settings -> Survey Styles
  • rtk int radio = internal radios on both gps
  • RTK = use an external radio for the base.

So, maybe the TDL450 radio can't tie in to the barrow network, which seems to operate at 418 MHz: http://facility.unavco.org/project_support/polar/barrow/equip.html In addition, the base station transmits real-time kinematic (RTK) broadcasts at 418 MHz (CMR+ format at 9600 baud).

Handy document showing how to change the receive frequencies for the R8 so that it can receive Toolik and Barrow freqs: http://cody.inlandgps.com/pub/Trimble%20Stuff/Instructions%20by%20Inland%20GPS/Installing%20Receive%20Frequencies.pdf
