RTK2go.com now requires a user email to connect

[DavidKelleySCSC]

Many folks use this software to connect to the public SNIP NTRIP Caster found at RTK2go.com:2101. This message is to alert you to an important change in how free public access is now given to any NTRIP Client devices (rovers).

Please log in using your email as the User Account name and a password of 'none' for access. Without a valid email, the machine will now disconnect you. After repeated bad attempts your IP may be block for a short while. Every NTRIP Client device needs an email, and you can use the same email multiple times. You can read more at RTK2go.com

This was done to allow the Caster to automatically send users back an informative email when there are repeated problems with their connection. The email states the problem and how to correct it. The Caster (and owner) will protect your email, and not use it in any other way or share it with others. As one of the busiest Casters on the planet, we needed to implement this rule to better manage all the bad connection received each day. We thank you for you understanding.

If you are sending your Base Station data to the public SNIP NTRIP Caster at RTK2go.com:2101 (an NTRIP Server) there are no changes in your settings. Please use the same settings you received when you made your reservation. Any problem with connecting are already returned to the email associated with your registration.

Sorry for the inconvenience this change may cause.
Regards, David Kelley, SNIP Program Manager
