Reach Firmware 32 enhances Reach RS3 compatibility with surveying software

We are announcing the release of Reach Firmware 32, our latest update packed with new features, improvements, and crucial fixes. This update ensures seamless integrations of Reach RS3 across various surveying apps and enhances the performance of Reach receivers.

Key features and improvements

Enhanced Reach RS3 capabilities

  • With this update, Reach RS3 can send NMEA GGA and GST messages with compensated position data, improving accuracy and compatibility with third-party software.
  • Improved tilt compensation and RTCM3.2 reception over UHF radio enhance the precise performance and range of communications in demanding environments.
Reach GNSS RTK receiver updated firmware
Updated NMEA settings

 

Log management updates

  • The updated log list interface simplifies log management, making it easier to navigate and operate.
  • You can now rename logs and split them at 00:00 UTC, enhancing organizational capabilities and data management.
  • We’ve made it possible to download logs and generate a full system report even when the system is stuck or self-tests fail, ensuring efficient troubleshooting and support.
Updated Logging tab

 

Other notable improvements

  • We’ve resolved issues where Wi-Fi would fail to reconnect to lost networks, ensuring stable and continuous operation.
  • Our update improves the stability of firmware updates over mobile data, minimizing interruptions and ensuring smoother updates.
  • We’ve removed the first-time setup. Users can now operate a receiver without rebooting right out of the box if there are no critical updates.
  • We’ve introduced a single antenna height storage. Now, if you enter the antenna height in one tab (e.g. in Logging or Base mode), it will be applied across other app tabs.

Reach Firmware 32 is available for Reach RS3/RS2+/RS2/RS+ and Reach M2/M+ receivers. Check out the complete list of changes and fixes in the release notes on our Community Forum
