Trimble 4000
The 4000MSK DGPS Reference Station receiver combines Trimble's GPS receiver and marine band Minimum Shift Keying (MSK) modulator technologies into one unit. The 4000MSK DGPS Reference Station, combined with the 4000IM MSK Integrity Monitor and the Beacon Control System Software (BCS), provides the most straightforward means of establishing a differential GPS service utilizing either existing or new radiobeacon sites.
