I have a DJI Phaton 4 and want to be able to lay down my own GCPs without having to pay a Land Surveyor. I understand this can be done economically with two Reach RS devices. However you still at least need one pre-established control point, monument or point from a pre-existing survey for the “base” unit. Here’s my basic questions:
(a) How long does it take the second unit (I guess this is called the “Rover”) to establish the coordinates?
(b) What is the transmission range - how far away can the Rover be from the base unit?
© I’m in the USA. Is there some network I can subscribe to that one (1) eliminates the need for two units and (2) eliminate the need of a pre-established control point? Where do I go to sign up for the network and do I need additional software? (There is a competing product from Propeller called Aeropint that are just pads you lay down but they have a network subscription so essentially they are just a bunch of Reach RS units I guess in the form of a GCP pad you lay on the ground.) You have to buy 10 of them for $6K USD!
(d) If I upgrade my drone to one that I can install a rover unit on the drone itself for PPK, can I use it with the Reach RS as a base or do I need to move up to something else?
