GPS 2000/2100
Advantages over
Other Systems
The GPS 2000/2100 systems are submeter class receivers, which means
they can be extremely accurate under certain conditions as compared with
lower-accuracy and cost systems. This accuracy allows the GPS 2000/2100
to provide accurate speed to the Yield Monitor 2000, thus eliminating the
need for a radar gun and eliminating slip problems associated with wheel
sensors.
The units can also store data in their 128K memory, which allows the user
to take the units out in the field by themselves to mark points and
boundaries. This is tied in with the ability to navigate back to marked points
in the field, and to navigate to soil sampling sites.
The GPS 2100 adds the ability to use two different forms of differential
correction in one unit. The user can choose to use either the free MF
radiobeacons for corrections or subscribe to Omnistar or Racal satellite
services to provide differential. This allows for total flexibility should
problems arise with one source of differential or a MF radiobeacon is added
in your area.
The primary difference between these units and others on the market is
versatility and the ability to upgrade. Instead of being a single operation and
use device the GPS 2000/2100 allow the user to put more precision into
farming.
