[QUOTE="Northeast, post: 679744, member: 8209"] Mmm, it does seem strange. My cousin has the 2cm guidance stuff on our old farm and they calibrate the exact position of 3 base stations and then everything works off them - not working live off an actual satellite in the sky. I assumed that is how all 2cm guidance stuff worked on farms as I thought 2cm accuracy would be impossible from a satellite/s?? The Pivotel network recently died as apparently that runs off just the 1 satellite that sits over Asia/Australia. Satellite 1 died a few years ago, satellite 2 was decommissioned and they were currently using satellite 3 with plans for satellite 4 next year. Unfortunately sat 3 had a fatal error on board that can't be fixed. Whole system is down. Anyone feel free to correct any of that as I was told second hand ;) [/QUOTE]
