StarFire iTC is offered in 2 configurations: SF1 World Solution and SF2 Ready.

SF1 World Solution: SF1 is a no-charge satellite-based differential correction signal offered exclusively by John Deere, delivering accuracy adequate for non row crop applications. SF1 StarFire iTC can be upgraded to SF2-Ready by visiting your John Deere dealer, calling Customer Care Center, or visiting StellarSupport and purchasing SF2 Ready activation.

NOTE: Serial port GPS information (NMEA) is only outputted for SF1 when connected to a GreenStar system.

SF2 Ready: SF2 is a +/- 4 in. pass to pass differential correction signal provided exclusively by John Deere. While StarFire iTC can be ordered SF2 Ready, SF2 Ready activation must be obtained by visiting www.StellarSupport.com or by calling 888-GRN-STAR (COMAR order number and receiver serial number are needed) and manually entered into receiver. Once activation has been entered, SF2 license can be purchased for either a 3, 6, 12, 24, or 36 month period.

NOTE: StarFire iTC must be SF2 Ready prior to upgrading receiver to RTK.

RTK: RTK is the highest accuracy correction signal. It requires use of a local base station and radio communication equipment. Each receiver used in the RTK system must be activated for RTK. This activation exists for the life of the receiver and can be transferred.
