AFLink Base Configurations
The AFLink family of Base Stations functions similarly to standard A5 AutoSteer system Base Stations. The primary
difference is that AFLink bases have radios which broadcast on 400MHz licensed frequencies. Customers choose AFLink
radios to comply with regional broadcast regulations (example: FCC licenses required for US operation) or for better radio
performance over tree lines or hilly terrain.
Note: The AutoSteer system radio on the vehicle must be matched to the Base Station radio.
The AFLink base is available in two different configurations, one fixed and one mobile. Each option is detailed in the
following sub-sections:
AFLink Mobile Base Station
The AFLink Mobile Base Station is designed for quick deployment in the field.
•
Part number: 130-0042-01 (Mobile Base Kit without Radio)
The AFLink Mobile Base Station must be ordered with an AFLink radio that uses the correct frequency for the geographical
location in which it is used. See your dealer for additional information.
AFLink Fixed Base Station
The AFLink Fixed Base Station is designed to be permanently-mounted (on a barn or other structure) and provide coverage for
a fixed area or farm.
