Leica UHF Radio Video 1 of 5: Cs15 & GS14 RTK UHF Base setup with Satel EZPRO 35 watt UHF radio

Hello Jeff. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and for making this publicly available. Your channel is a goldmine. Now at 16:07 "make sure it's programmed in the same frequencies". I cannot emphasize this enough. I have used the Pac Crest PDL4535 radios with my Leica GX1230+ Base (it is also 35W radio) and I learned the hard way that the TX radio at the Base needed to be programmed with the exact same frequency table as the RX radio at the Rover. I had to pay for a Pac Crest reseller to send me a frequency table for my radios to fix it. I can say that I am quite comfortable with my Leica 1200+ units but these are getting old. I have a few questions for you: 1- What is the frequency range of the Satel-EasyPro Transmitter radio that you feature in your video? 2- How many channels are usable on it (for comparison my Pac crest PDL4535 has 16 channels)? 3- How did you program the channels on the Satel-EasyPro radio? Does it require any specialized PC software to do it? 4- How did you program the channels on the Satel RX radio on the GS18 rover? Does it require any specialized PC software to do this or can be programmed from the CS20 data collector directly? 5- I could see from the video that your Satel-EasyPro radio has a 12.5kHz channel spacing. Is it reconfigurable to use the 25kHz instead? 6- Last but not least, do you think that it is compatible to use a Satel-EasyPro TX radio at the Base and using my existing PacCrest RX radios at the rover if I make sure that they use the exact same channel frequencies? I am asking this because I saw that you are using quite different Satel models at the base and rover (Satel TR1/HPR3 at the Base, SatelTR4+ at the Rover). It would be nice if Satel is intercompatible with other radio radio brands like Pac Crest if one is using Transparent protocol, while making sure to program every channel frequency the same way. Looking forward to hearing from you. You earned a new subscriber.

In US need frequencies approved from FCC then we program into radio, with office software, typically 4 -5 frequencies are approved 461.025 to 464.5 range. The GS18 rover radio can be programmed with cs20 with current firmware 5.0 or later. In US 12.5Khz but Satel can be programmed to 25 khz but not legal in US not sure where you are working? Satel should have language FST mode if our radio has it then should talk with it Pac crest- if you can confirm data protocols you have it should work.
