NP-RTK-UM982R is a ground differential reference station developed by the NextPilot team. It supports most satellite boards on the market and can directly mount a GNSS mushroom antenna. The communication interface uses an aviation connector and is stable and reliable.
The main functions of the ground differential reference station are:
Specifications of the ground differential reference station:
The reference station provides two TNC antenna connectors (female inner, male outer thread) — the right one is the primary antenna connector and the left one the secondary.
The reference station provides an aviation connector, model FGG-2B-319-CLL, as shown below:

The connector model is FGG-2B-319-CLL, with the following pin definitions:
