How to Enable RTK on VBOX Speed Sensor with RTK

Updated on Apr 17, 2026

When VBOX Speed Sensor with RTK is used in conjunction with a local DGPS RTK enabled Basestation, the positional accuracy will be improved to 2 cm.

The RLVBBS4RG Basestation uses a RTCMv3 RTK 2 cm correction type. It is a globally recognised message format type and is more resilient to data loss caused by radio errors than other types.

The Speed Sensor must have the correct mode enabled via VBOX Setup before it is capable of receiving and using the DGPS RTK correction information transmitted by a Local Basestation.

  2. Click the 'Connect' button to enter VBOX Speed Sensor with RTK setup screen.
  1. Select the 'GPS' menu and click the arrow next to 'Mode' within the 'DGPS' heading. Select 'RTCMv3 (2cm RTK)' from the dropdown menu.
