The last two format settings allow the GPS 120

to accept RTCM DGPS corrections in RTCM 104

version 2.0 format. The RTCM/NONE format will
allow connection to any manually tuned beacon

receiver with the proper output interface, with the

baud rate selectable from the GPS 120,

Differential GPS is capable of correcting your

calculated position to be within 5-10 meters.
Differential correction transmitters are not avail­
able in all areas, however. Check local area
providers for service coverage.

The RTCM/NMEA selection controls the

GARMIN GBR-21 beacon receiver. Once a RTCM
setting has been selected, the GPS 120 will auto­
matically try to tune the last frequency and bit rate

you selected or will switch to the default frequency

of 304.0 kHz with a bit rate of 100 bps if no previ­
ous beacon has been tuned. You may also enter
your own frequency and bit rate if desired.

3. H ighlight the 'rate' field and press

4. Use the

from the GBR-21, the ‘beacon received section of the
I/O setup page will display the beacon frequency and

signal strength, as well as the distance from the trans­
mitter to the beacon receiver.
