Tipton, KS | >CaseIH network....dealer has a tower.
Interesting sidebar topic:
2016 AFS RTK+ was "Available for purchase through participating Case IH dealers.."
https://www.precisionfarmingdealer.com/articles/1991-case-ih-introdu...
2019 Case said that AFS 1 and AFS 2 Corrections are sold "exclusively from your CaseIH dealer, AFS 1 and AFS 2 are satellite delivered correction options for the AFS AccuStar receiver.

Yes, participating Case IH dealers were required to install a tower, but the recently purchased 2023 340 Case had RTK+ still working here (far away from dealer's towers) and worked just fine. Using TerraStar's coverage map, our area is covered.

At some ten miles from a tower, accuracy is about 1" Speculation, I suspect TerraStar's Virtual Reference Station setup is being used today, and this is why the 340's RTK+ was spot on.
Only loose thread I'm looking for now is when did CASE introduced AFS3? AFS 3 came after Feb-27-2020, as based upon this article, which did not mention it.
