RTK Setup: Radio Configuration

 

When configuring your radios you must also check your base station settings. Confirm the baud rate matches your radio setting of 57600. 

• To reset or reconfigure your RTK radios, complete the following steps:
• Download and extract SikRadio Program
• Plug in the first radio into the computer using a USB cable.
• Open SikRadio program
• Select the established COM port. It is usually the second port if you have only the radio plugged in.
• Set Baud rate to 57600
• Select Load Settings
  • Note: If you get the following error message, refer to the troubleshooting steps below:
    
• Select “Reset To Defaults”
• Once all the fields are populated, confirm they match the following: 
  • Baud: 57
  • AirSpeed: 64
  • Min Freq: 902000 (only if using 915Mhz radios)
  • Mavlink: RawData

• Select “Save Settings”
• Once done saving, unplug the first radio and plug in the second radio.
• Repeat steps 2-7 for the second radio.
• Unplug the second radio once finished
