The StarFire 3000 Receiver is equipped with light-emitting diode (LED) lights on the front that can easily be seen. The LED lights notify the user about the status of the receiver and can help the user diagnose issues if they arise.

The LED lights mean different things depending on whether the receiver is in base station mode or machine mode. The defined list for each LED can be found in the operator manual or by talking with a John Deere dealer.

The StarFire receiver deluxe shroud is more robust than the original shroud, offering more stability and reducing vibration in rough field conditions. It is required for either the StarFire 3000 or iTC Receivers mounting to an implement mast when utilizing John Deere precision implement applications.
 
The deluxe shroud is compatible with many new machines as well as other older cabs by using conversion bracket.
Accurate radar speed signal

The StarFire 3000 Receiver can output a simulated ground speed radar signal for controllers that require ground speed radar input. The StarFire 3000 Receiver can supply an accurate speed signal, unaffected by moving field residue, to seed monitors and rate controllers. The StarFire 3000 Receiver, along with a radar/RS232 harness, can eliminate the need for additional add-on speed radar.
