Choosing a Receiver

The base stations from gnss.store differ in the type of GNSS receiver they use.

Unicore UM980

This is an entry-level survey-grade receiver, comparable to those used by other manufacturers of Onocoy-compatible miners. The only differences are likely to be in configuration and firmware version. A typical Onocoy base station using this receiver is LVARIGRIG10. On average, it receives 145 signals with a quality score of 0.976. Many survey receivers have been built on the UM980/UM981 platform, such as the Sfaira One, NetBOX2, Stonex S900.

Bynav M20

Bynav M20 - a simpler and cheaper receiver. It tracks slightly fewer signals and provides a slightly lower reward. Compared to UM980, it lacks signals such as GPS L1C and L2P(Y), Galileo E6, Beidou B1C and B2b, and QZSS L1C. Fortunately, for Onocoy, only the absence of Galileo E6 matters. This receiver is not survey-grade and is suitable as a base for tractors, drones, or GNSS mining. It’s not recommended for serious geodetic work. Example base station: LVARIGRIG11. It typically tracks 126 signals with an average quality of 0.906.

Septentrio Mosaic X5

Septentrio Mosaic X5 - a high-quality mid-range survey receiver. It features AIM+ technology for interference mitigation and spoofing protection, as well as OSNMA to distinguish real signals from spoofed ones. It receives two more signals (Galileo E5ab and QZSS L6) than the UM980. However, it can only track 60 satellites simultaneously, so it needs to be regionally optimized. Otherwise, you might get a lower reward—or one similar to UM980. Our base station is tuned for Europe. For India and surrounding regions, it should be reconfigured to include IRNSS. A typical Onocoy base station using this receiver is LVARIGRIG9. On average, it receives 170 signals with a quality score of 0.964. Survey-grade receivers based on Mosaic include Galaxy G1 Plus, AntaRx-Si3 and PolaRx5.

If you're interested in the reward, it depends on the number of “green circles”—which directly affects your station’s positioning.

ELT0631 and ELT0633 with Bynav M20 – These are the most affordable full-featured multi-frequency base stations and the lowest-cost miners on the market. Ideal for those who prioritize price.

ELT0231 and ELT0233 with Unicore UM980 – A great balance of price and performance. Perfect for users who understand that over 10–20 years they’ll need more than just mining functions—possibly two dozen features not available from competitors.

ELT0731 and ELT0733 with Septentrio Mosaic X5 – The most affordable base stations with Mosaic X5 on the market. Ideal for perfectionists and for those needing a high-quality station for professional geodetic work.
