RTK Extend
RTK Extend 1 is a purchased software option for Navcom StarFire receivers, such as the
SF-3040 and the SF-3050. It enables continuous real-RTK/RTK level positioning accuracy
during radio communication outages by utilizing NavCom’s global StarFire corrections. This
option is only required on the rover receiver. If a base receiver may be used as a rover at a
future date, it should be optioned for RTK Extend as well.
Enable RTK Extend
 To enable RTK Extend:

RTK Extend Software Option: A valid RTK Extend Software Option must be installed in
the rover (see Figure 87)

Set Navigation Modes dialog box: “StarFire RTG” must be set to ON (see Figure 105)
