radio, if it supports it.

You can use a 10 Ah battery, a 6 Ah battery, or camcorder 
batteries. The choice of power supply depends on the 
application, and whether you are using the radio as a reference 
or rover radio. For more information about the power 
capabilities of the Trimble R7, see Batteries and Power,

following:

•

A Trimble R7 receiver

•

A custom-designed cellular modem, or a cellphone that can 
transmit and receive data

•

Serial (cellphone to DB9) cable (supplied with the cellular 
modem or phone)
