*SparkFun RTK mosaic base station kit*

This is the gold standard for RTK base station kits. The RTK mosaic is tri-band capable, includes all the bits you need (minus the antenna mounting hardware) to have a fully fledged CORS (continuously operating reference station). Additionally, the RTK mosaic is capable of transmitting to up to four Casters so you can push correction data simultaneously to your own caster (say RTK2Go) and to casters that may generate some income (ie, [Onocoy](https://www.onocoy.com/) or [Geodnet](https://geodnet.com/)).

*SparkFun RTK Reference Station kit*

The RTK Reference Station is similar to the RTK mosaic; it has all the parts you need and is a very capable CORS. While being slightly cheaper in price, it is only dual band (L1/L2) capable so the corrections are *quite* as good as the tri-band [RTK mosaic](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/23748). Additionally, the RTK Reference Station is only capable of transmitting to a single Caster so you can't push correction data simultaneously to say RTK2Go and Onocoy at the same time.

*Antenna covered removed from the RTK Torch*

### Removing Antenna Stackup

Once the antenna cover is removed, remove the three Phillips holding the antenna in place.

With the screws removed, gently and very carefully pull up on the upper PCB antenna. There is an MMCX connector that will pop loose, along with a U.FL connection. Pulling too hard may damage the connectors, the PCB antennas, or both.

### Removing Mainboard

*The RTK Torch mainboard*

With the mainboard removed, three Phillips head screws hold the mainboard in place. Remove these screws and the mainboard will be released. Remove the battery connector from the bottom side of the mainboard to free it.

### Remoing Battery

The lower 7.2V LiPo battery pack is held in place by a metal retaining plate. Remove the Phillips head screws to release the battery.
