No FIX? NTRIP checklist
If DJI Pilot 2 or Emlid Flow stays on NONE, Converging, or FLOAT, work this list in order. Most failed trials never get a FIX because of settings, not coverage.
Settings to use
| Host / address | rtk.geodnet.com |
|---|---|
| Port | 2101 (not 2103) |
| Mountpoint | AUTO (all caps) |
| Username | From the rtkUSA dashboard after signup |
| Password | From the rtkUSA dashboard |
| GGA | Required. Rover must send its own position. |
Do not publish or reuse anyone else's credentials. Website login email is not the NTRIP username.
Checklist
- Internet on the device that runs NTRIP. DJI: the RC needs hotspot or 4G. Emlid: the phone/tablet needs cell. Logging into rtkusa.com in a browser does not open the caster socket.
- GNSS first, then connect. DJI: camera view → three-dots settings → RTK → Custom Network RTK. Wait for a satellite count, then Save (some builds then show Connect or Start Transmitting — do not hit that until GNSS is live). Connect first and Pilot 2 can send a 0,0 GGA. Disconnect, wait for satellites, reconnect. Emlid: turn Send receiver's position (GGA) on before you expect FIX.
- Custom Network RTK, not D-RTK 2. Agras: turn off D-RTK 2 search. 3E/3T: if the RTK tab is missing, the module is off or loose.
- Port 2101, mountpoint AUTO all caps. Lowercase auto and port 2103 both fail. Do not type a CRS name into the mountpoint field.
- GGA on. A 0,0 GGA (indoors) makes AUTO pick a useless station.
- Dashboard creds, not website login.
- One stream. A second device on the same account drops the first. Emlid: no LoRa base running in parallel. A leftover trial device on the same account will hold the stream.
- Open sky, within about 25 km of a live station. West Texas pit with no LTE: this product cannot help; use a local base.
- Emlid project CRS: US AUTO = NAD83(2011). Do not mix WGS84 / ITRF on the survey project with this stream.
- Wait 90 seconds, then toggle RTK, then restart the app, then restart the aircraft/receiver outdoors.
- Still FLOAT with good sky and cell: too far from a station, or stream already in use. Do not survey on FLOAT.
rtkUSA is nationwide GEODNET NTRIP. Not a radio base, not Trimble VRS, not an SLA. One account, one rover.
