Satel Radio Firmware Roll Back Guide.
The 869.4125MHz radio firmware has been updated by Satel to
SATELLINE_EASy_869_fw_06_26_3_63_8
This firmware puts a limitation on the output of the radio creating the possibility that correction messages will not get to the RT and thus the RT will not be able to get into RTK mode. This guide will take you through the process of rolling back the firmware to
SATELLINE_EASy_869MHz_fw_06_26_3_63_1
where the limits do not apply, and the issue will not appear.
DISCLAIMER:
OxTS does not accept responsibility where radios or wireless devices we supply are used in regions where the frequencies configured. This guide is meant only for those regions where the configured frequency, 869.4125MHz, is legal for use with a 500mW output power.
If you are unsure as to what you can do, email support@oxts.com and we can guide you as to what options are available.
