Licensing of John Deere RTK Radio 450
Licensing of John Deere RTK Radio 450
The standard (869MHz, 900MHz) RTK product sold by
John Deere uses ISM band radios. These radios do not
require licensing by the end user. The radios are limited
to a specic frequency range and 1W/ 0.5W maximum
output power. While this system works for the majority of
applications, the reliability of the RTK link may become
limited when passing through trees and dense foliage.
The intent of RTK Radio 450 is to increase the range and
reliability of the RTK link. To overcome the attenuation
of adverse eld conditions, transmission power greater
than standard (869MHz, 900MHz) RTK is needed. While
there is some added benet from using a radio with lower
frequency and longer wavelength, the signal strength
is the dominant factor in the radio link reliability. To
legally transmit at a higher power, RTK Radio 450 uses
a licensed band radio. The end user of the licensed
band transmitting radio is responsible for obtaining and
maintaining a valid site license from the local spectrum
authorities. In RTK Radio 450 system, this requires a
license for each base station and repeater.
Vehicle radios in RTK Radio 450 system are not
transmitters. Since they only receive corrections from the
base or repeater, RTK Radio 450 vehicle radios do not
require a site license.
An end user can apply for the license by applying directly
to the local spectrum authority:
NOTE: Visit www.StellarSupport.com for license
request examples and links to Authority for
different countries.
that has been certied by the local frequency spectrum
authority to recommend and aid in the application for a
licenses. For a fee, these third party coordinators will
reduce the complexity and confusion of the application
process. However, the nal responsibility of the license
still resides with the end user.
Check www.StellarSupport.com for country specic
instructions on how to obtain a site license.
IMPORTANT: Please contact your local radio
authorities or partnering frequency coordinator
for region specic regulations and licensing.
License Renewal Scams
After being granted a license for RTK Radio 450 radio,
base station operators should be aware of license
renewal scams. Spectrum licenses are public record.
Other companies could retrieve licensee information
and then mail current license holders offers to prepare
applications for license renewal. The letters contain
warnings that there will be monetary penalties if the
licensee does not comply. These companies are not
afliated with government spectrum authorities. They are
taking advantage of the public record and the licensee’s
desire to comply with the law. Their intention is to charge
a “processing” fee on top of the actual amount that a
licensee would pay for renewal. While it is important to
not let your license expire, licensees should work directly
with their local spectrum authority or a certied frequency
coordinator. Internet searches of the companies involved
usually identify if the company is relevant.
An end user can also apply with the aid of a frequency
coordinator. A frequency coordinator is a private company

RTK Base Station Setup
System Overview
The John Deere RTK Radio 450 system consists of a
local base station permanently mounted on a structure
that transmits high accuracy corrections to the vehicle’s
StarFire™ receiver using RTK Radio 450 and an optional
amplier (only available in USA and Canada). The
StarFire™ receiver on the RTK equipped vehicle must
have a direct line of sight with the base station in order to
receive the RTK signal. While the higher transmission
power and longer wavelength of RTK Radio 450 aids
in the transmission through trees and foliage, it will not
penetrate through earth in hilly terrains.
Performance of the RTK correction is related to the
operating distance from the base station. When operating
beyond 20 km (12 mi.), degraded accuracy will occur and
it may take longer to initially acquire the RTK signal.
IMPORTANT: The standard (869MHz, 900MHz) RTK
system and RTK Radio 450 systems are not
compatible. Vehicles with RTK Radio 450
must receive corrections from a RTK Radio
450 attached to the base. Likewise, vehicles
with standard (869MHz, 900MHz) radios
installed must receive there corrections from
a base with a standard (869MHz, 900MHz)
radio installed. Different radio models can
not communicate with each other since they
transmit on different frequencies.

RTK Base Station Setup
Base Station Setup
The base station is the most critical part of RTK system.
During installation, care must be taken to ensure the base
has problem-free operation. There are two issues that
are responsible for most problems with a base station:
Shading and Multipathing. If a base station experiences
one of these problems, it could be detrimental to your RTK
operation. These issues are shared with the standard
(869MHz, 900MHz) RTK system. Mitigation techniques
have already been documented in the standard StarFire
3000 – RTK manual that came with the StarFire receiver.
This manual provides detailed recommendations to
minimizing these errors.
Base station operating mode can be either Absolute
Survey Base Mode or Quick Survey Base Mode.
NOTE: Quick Survey Base Mode is for testing
purposes only. this mode can be used to test the
functionality without doing the 24h measurement
with Absolute Survey Base Mode.
Once you have installed the base station receiver,
installing the radio in a location to best maximize the
output, can be a challenge. Below are several options
currently available through John Deere.
Leave the RTK radio in its original conguration
•
attached directly behind the base station receiver.
Use PF80821 extension harness [92 m (300 ft.) in
•
length], or PFP10549 MRTK and iGuide harness (5 m),
or PFP10540 MRTK and iGuide harness (10 m), or
PFP10541 MRTK and iGuide harness (20 m), moving
the radio from the back of the base station receiver to an
elevated position, and running the harness in between.
NOTE: It is important to use the PF80821 harness
and grounding wire properly according to the
installation instructions. This harness has built
in protection for both your radio and receiver
for unwanted electrical transients developed
on the harness.The Maximum recommended
harness length is 92m (300ft).
IMPORTANT: The antenna must be installed before
the radio module is powered ON.
Avoid water intrusion by keeping the
antenna attached whenever possible.
Removing the antenna while transmitting
may damage the radio module.
IMPORTANT: If using coaxial cable between the
radio and the antenna, you need to use
the lowest-loss cable available or you may
suffer RTK radio link range issues.
Attach the RTK radio in a secured location and run
•
low-loss coaxial cable between the radio and the
antenna.
NOTE: When using this option, it may be necessary
to install a higher-gain antenna and/or the
optional amplier (USA and Canada only)
to compensate for loss.

Base Station Setup—Amplier Option (USA
and Canada only)
CAUTION: Install and operate the amplier
safely. Read and follow PREVENT ELECTRICAL
SHOCK AND FIRES and AVOID EXPOSURE
TO HIGH RADIO FREQUENCY FIELDS in
the SAFETY section.
The primary reason for RTK Radio 450 is to provide
a more robust RTK data link. Signal strength is the
dominant factor in the link reliability and range. For areas
where there are trees and other foliage, John Deere offers
an optional in-line amplier.
Always mount the radio antenna vertically to make sure
that the RTK signal is radiating outwards. If the antenna is
at an angle, it may cause the data received at the vehicle
to be lower than expected.
NOTE: The RTK Radio 450 whip antenna, PF81464
(450-470 MHz) and PFP10612 (435-450 MHz),
looks similar to 900 MHz and 869 MHz RTK
whip antennas. To differentiate, it has a white or
green stripe near its tip. The white stripe labels
the 450 - 470 MHz antenna and the green stripe
labels the 435 - 450 MHz antenna.
DK01672,0000145 -19-25JUL11-2/2
The PF81443 amplier is a UHF RF power amplier
intended for use in RTK Radio 450 system. It is not
intended to be used with standard (869MHz, 900MHz)
RTK or any other applications. The amplier can deliver
RF power from 0 to 50 W proportional to the 0 to 2 W input
from RTK Radio 450. It covers a frequency range from
450 MHz to 470 MHz. This higher signal strength provides
greater range from the base and increased coverage in
areas with dense foliage and trees.
This amplier is inserted between the radio and the base
antenna. The amplier has been designed to function
outdoors attached to its mounting plate with sun shade.
Mount the amplier in an area where air can freely
circulate around it. If possible, mount in a location shaded
from direct sunlight.
Operation of the amplier inside an enclosure is not
recommended. Poor ventilation within the box can
cause the amplier to overheat. While this would not

Amplier Assembly
permanently damage the amplier, it would cause it to
stop amplication. The output signal would no longer be
strong enough for the vehicles in the eld to receive.

1. 12 VDC power input
2. RF input via TNC connector
3. RF output via N-Type connector
The connectors should only be nger-tight. Using tools can
over tighten and damage the RF and power connectors.
A 13.8 V power supply capable of providing a constant
10 amp to the amplier is required. Amplier operation
with insufcient voltage can lead to higher amplier
operating temperatures. Insufcient current can cause the
amplier to not amplify or only partially amplify the RF
signal. These conditions result in incomplete or no RTK
transmissions being received by the vehicle.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the antenna and coax
are attached before the amplier module is
powered ON or damage to the amplier could

occur. Do not remove the coax or antenna
while the amplier is powered ON. Avoid
water intrusion by keeping the connections
attached whenever possible.
Make sure the power connector is attached
and unpowered when handling the RF IN and
RF OUT connectors. The ground provided by
the power connector protects the amplier
against possible electrostatic discharge.

RTK Base Station Setup
The ability to use a single base station is a substantial
reduction in cost and maintenance. The drawback to this
method is that only one radio can be congured at a time.
A single RS232 port is used by the StarFire™ receiver
to communicate with an RTK radio. Two radios can
simultaneously receive RTK corrections from the receiver.
Unfortunately, the receiver can not process simultaneous
messages sent from the radios. The two radios send
different messages and interfere. To ensure that this
interference does not occur, the dual radio harness has
the radio send wire in only one branch.
To prevent network connection errors, a specic
procedure must be followed when conguring a base
station supporting two radios:
1. Connect the Dual Radio Harness to the StarFire™
Receiver.
2. Power the base station StarFire™ Receiver with only
standard 900MHz RTK radio connected to 4-wire

4. Power down the base station StarFire™ Receiver.
5. Disconnect standard 900MHz RTK radio and then
connect RTK Radio 450 to the 4-wire Deutsch
connector.
6. Once the receiver determines its position and
recognizes the radio, congure RTK Radio 450 to
comply with the site license.
7. Power down the receiver.
8. With RTK Radio 450 still attached to the 4-Wire
Deutsch connector, connect the standard 900MHz
RTK radio to the 3-wire Deutsch connector.
9. Power the base station.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to change the radio
parameters while both radios are attached.
This can corrupt the conguration of 900 MHz
radio and may cause problems with rovers
liking to it. If this does occur, recongure the
radios with the process given above.
During normal operation, ensure that RTK Radio
450 is connected to the 4-wire connector and
that standard 900MHz RTK radio is connected
PC13762 —UN—17MAY11
3-Wire RTK connector
to the 3-wire connector. If the receiver detects
a standard 900MHz RTK radio, RTK Radio
450 link may be compromised. At its lowest
data speed, the RTK Radio 450 does not have
the capacity to transmit corrections at the
Standard 900MHz RTK radio.
The mandatory narrow bandwidth of the licensed band
radio results in a slower over-the-air baud rate because
Vehicles using 900Mhz will see fewer messages received
when using a dual radio base station as their correction
source. In a network with repeaters enabled the RTK
message rate will be further reduced.

RTK Base Station Setup
Radio Power Setting to Meet Licensed ERP
The RTK Radio 450 system has been designed to meet a
wide range of possible congurations. This gives the end
user the ability to optimize the system for their specic
location and application. The end user must obtain a
site license from the local spectrum authorities. It is the
end user’s responsibility to ensure that RTK Radio 450
system parameters are congured correctly. Frequency,
bandwidth, output power and antenna height must all
conform to the granted license.
The frequency and output power of the RTK Radio
450 are programmable by the StarFire™ receiver. The

The RTK Radio 450 shares the same activation as
standard (869MHz, 900MHz) RTK. The receiver
automatically detects which radio is connected at start-up
and adjusts its screens for the appropriate radio when
the softkey is pressed.
RTK Radio 450 can be operated in three modes:
Vehicle
•
Quick Survey Base (for testing purposes only)
•
Absolute Base
•
IMPORTANT: Any time the radio is recongured
or changed, power must be cycled at the
GPS receiver before continuing.
Vehicle Mode Select this mode if the receiver is on a
vehicle.
Quick Survey Base Mode Select for testing purposes
only. This mode can be used to test the functionality
without doing the 24h measurement with Absolute Survey
Base Mode. Regarding your licence for each base station,
the usage of the “Quick Survey” setup is only permitted at
the dedicated location as per licence agreement stated.
Absolute Survey Base Mode Select if exact location of
guidance tracks need to be stored for future guidance
applications without relying on visual reference for track

be stored using Current Track 0 in Guidance Setup – Set
Track 0 in order to follow previously used tracks. Absolute
Base Mode requires 24 hour self survey to be conducted
on location before rst use. After survey is completed,
base station will then transmit corrections. If base station
is moved to another position and then returned to original
surveyed position, it is very important that base station is
mounted in exact same position. Any difference between
original surveyed position and mounted position will
result in offset of corrected position. For this reason, it
is important to mount receiver to a xed position like a
building or post mounted in concrete.
OFF Mode This mode disables all RTK functionality in
receiver. RTK Operating Mode must be OFF for normal
SF1 or SF2 operation on SF2 licensed receiver.

The LEDs can be used to determine
□ Is the radio powered?
□ Is the radio congured as a Base Station or a vehicle?
□ Is the radio searching or linked?
□ Is the radio in conguration mode?
The radio enters conguration mode when parameters are

Diagnostic LEDs
Amplier LEDs (USA and Canada only)
There are four amplier LEDs. They are located on the
side of the amplier.
The LEDs can be used to determine
□ Is the amplier powered?
□ Is there an internal failure?
□ Is the radio signal being amplied?
□ Is the amplier setup causing it to overheat?
□ Is the antenna or its connection path faulty?
The LEDs operate in two states: Start Up and Operation.
After the amplier is initially powered, the amplier
strobes through each LED sequentially. This rapid
ashing sequence indicates that the internal rmware test
sequence is initiated. It checks the power to the unit and
the integrity of internal components.
The outcome of a successful startup test sequence results
in only the PWR LED on. The outcome of an unsuccessful
startup sequence results in the PWR LED and any of the
red LEDs on. These red LEDs indicate a failure.
During normal operation after a successful startup, each
amplier LED has a specic meaning.
Power LED Indicates that the amplier has DC power.
TX LED Indicates that an RF signal is being actively
amplied and transmitted. This light blinking indicates
normal function.
O/T LED Indicates that the unit has exceeded its internal
temperature limits. When this light is on, the unit will
cease amplication. This allows the unit to cool and
prevents permanent damage.
PUPC000031 —UN—07DEC09
Amplier LED
VSWR LED Indicates that the antenna path is faulty.
When this light is on, the unit will cease amplication. This
prevents the output power from being reected back into

Radio Distance:
•
Indicates the distance in meters between the selected
radio (vehicle) and the radio to which the selected
radio is directly linked (Base/Repeater). It is typically
accurate to within 30 meters for distances over one Km
(0.6 miles). This calculation is performed by the radios
independent of the GPS receivers.
Number of Disconnects:

Radio Temperature:
•
Shows the radio temperature.
Antenna Reected Power:
•
A measurement of the transmitted power reected
back into the transceiver from mismatched antennas or
cables, or loose connections between the transceiver
and antenna.
Average Noise Level:
•
The average noise level indicates the average power of
background noise and interference at the transceiver.
Ideally, noise level value should be greater than 120
and the difference between the average signal level and
average noise level should be 26 dB or more. Noise
levels signicantly higher than this are in indication
of a high level of interference that may degrade the
performance of the link.
Radio Self Test Main
Average Signal Level:
•
The average signal level indicates the average power of
the received signal for the attached radio. For a reliable
link, the average signal level should be between 35 and
106. The difference between the average signal level
and the average noise level should also be at least 26
dB.

RTK Radio 450 Performance
Line of Sight
Line of sight is the direct path between two points,
free of obstacles. For the RTK application, this is the
line between the base and vehicle antennas. Typical
obstructions include:
Trees and foliage
•
Buildings or other man-made objects
•
Terrain variation, such as hills or valleys
•
Curvature of the Earth
•
The higher RF power of RTK Radio 450 will reduce
attenuation due to plants and small variations in terrain.
Blockage due to man-made objects can be reduced
through planning of the base antenna location. Similar
to analysis performed to locate the StarFire™ receiver
installation, the transmitting antenna should be located
away from nearby obstructions.
To deal with obstructions away from the base, small terrain
variations and the curvature of the Earth, the antenna
should be placed as high as possible. The local spectrum
authority will limit the range and potential interference of
the base station signal by setting a maximum power and
maximum antenna height. End users should install their
base antenna to the maximum height allowed for best
performance.
PC9393 —UN—23OCT06
In order to maintain a good RTK Radio link, the antenna
must be mounted high enough to radiate over the earth’s
curvature and any obstacles. As shown in the gure, the
curve of the earth can block the signal from the RTK link.
If the radiating base station radio antenna is mounted too
low, the broadcasting range will be drastically reduced.
StarFire RTK™ retains its published accuracy to 12 mi.
(20 km). If consistent with the granted site license, it is
recommended that antennas are mounted ≥ 30 m (100
ft.) to ensure the full range of coverage. The table below
relates the base antenna height to the line-of-sight to the
base radio horizon.

Operation of Vehicle Next to Base
Depending on the base station setup, operation of
vehicles directly under or next to the base may be limited.
The RTK Radio 450 system has both higher power and
higher signal sensitivity than standard (869MHz, 900MHz)
