Hello,
We are using two M8P RTK XL with two radio telemetry 433Mhz and we use it with U-center. We are able to use one gps with U-center and we configured the two in order to have one base and one rover. We followed the drotek tutorial for this. Now we would like to know if they are communicating and if we are in DGPS mode. Is there a way to verify it with U-Center? or do we need another software?
Best regards
Your question is not clear, you want to determine the RTK status in Rover? If true, the Rover side needs to send $ GPGGA at the NMEA output, then you can use Ublox-Center to determine the RTK status.

An example of the GBS message string is:
$GPGGA,172814.0,3723.46587704,N,12202.26957864,W,
2,6,1.2,18.893,M,-25.669,M,2.0,0031*4F
Note – The data string exceeds the NMEA standard length.

Note – If a user-defined geoid model, or an inclined plane is loaded into the receiver, then the height output in the NMEA GGA string is always the orthometric height (height above a geoid). The orthometric height is output even if no user-defined geoid is loaded (there is a simplified default geoid in the receiver), or if a user-defined geoid is loaded, or if an inclined plane is used.
