Modem configuration file creation

Learn how to create and load a modem configuration file (*.mcf) for GNSS receivers with the Receiver Utility to operate UHF radios within the licensed 403-473 MHz frequency range.

These instructions tell how to make and load a modem configuration file (*.mcf) for HiPer XR GNSS receivers with a UHF radio modem that operates in the licensed frequency band of 403 MHz to 473 MHz.

Note: The Topcon dealer must configure and load a valid configuration file with your specified UHF frequencies before you get the receiver. Regional UHF frequencies can be licensed or unlicensed, but restrictions in the 403 MHz to 473 MHz range apply. Failure to understand and apply this procedure can cause non-operation of the modem or breach of local regulatory laws. Write to Topcon technical support at support@topcon.com.
