Description:

Provide a reliable source of free differential corrections with the MBX-4 Differential
Beacon Receiver that augments a separate GPS receiver with free accuracy improving
correction data from networks of beacon stations located throughout the
world. With automatic dual-channel tracking, the MBX-4 ensures the best beacon
station is always being decoded. Beacon stations are automatically tracked based on
signal strength or station distance and can also be manually selected.
Hemisphere GPS’ MBX-4 has been optimized for high performance reception and
proves reliable even in noisy environments. It outputs the industry standard RTCM
SC-104 format accepted by differential-ready GPS receivers and can be confi gured
and monitored with NMEA 0183 protocol. Hemisphere GPS’ MBX-4 receiver kit
includes an integrated GPS and beacon antenna.

Key MBX-4 Advantages
• Supplements GPS systems with free beacon differential corrections,
capable of sub-meter accuracy (depending on GPS receiver quality)
• Dual-channel design allows strongest signal or closest station selection
• Integrated signal splitter outputs GPS signal from combined GPS /
differential antenna
• Simple to monitor and confi gure through menu system and display
• Patented ceramic filter blocks out-of-band signals, optimizing reception.
