How long does it take the Outback S2 to attain a usable signal?
It normally takes 1-3 minutes. The GPS signal will be acquired first by illuminating a yellow light. Then DGPS correction will be acquired which provides a green light. For e-Dif, it takes 10 minutes to generate corrections. The vehicle can be in motion during this process. For RTK, it can take up to 15 minutes of consistent corrections to establish an RTK signal. If the Outback S2 takes longer than 1-3 minutes to obtain a usable signal the memory of the console may need to be deleted.
