1. Introduction
This chapter mainly introduces the overview and specification of the Tersus
2W Radio RS460.
1.1 Overview
The Tersus 2W radio RS460 is a radio solution for both the base and the rover.
It provides reliable data communications for mission-critical applications where
a combination of stability, superior performance and long distance are
required.
The RS460 is a lightweight, ruggedized UHF receiver designed for digital radio
communications between 457 MHz and 467 MHz in 25 kHz channels, which
can be used widely in GNSS/RTK surveying and precise positioning system
applications. The RS460 is equipped with a LED display and a keypad which is
used for checking the operating status, changing the operating channel, and
transmitting power level. It is easy to operate.
