Frequently Asked Questions
How well does Hemisphere Machine Control (GradeMetrix) work in poor conditions?
Because of the inclusion of five major constellations as a standard, GradeMetrix can pull data from a complete range of satellites for better reception, lower on the horizon. GradeMetrix works well close to structures, in valleys and under thick canopy.
What kind of range can I get with these units?
All the receivers we carry come with at least a built in 1- or 2-watt radio. Our E800 has an internal 5-watt radio for a range of 10-12 kms.
