Base and Rover different Sat system okay?

Hello,

Question regarding the RTK Setting. Would the Base and Rover having different Sat systems cause problem when post processing? Like if the Base is GPS and Rover is GPS,GLO,QZSS,SBAS.

I am asking because I am trying to post process Reach base against a reference station and my reach had GPS,GLO,QZSS,SBAS while the reference station data was GPS only I think. Maybe just toss this data into trash and recapture?

I found this file from reference station website which I think means that it only uses GPS?

RTKLIB will only use satellites for which there are base and rover observations. Extra satellites in the rover observation file will just slow down the processing a bit but won’t affect the result.

You could disable the other satellite systems during RINEX conversion or post-processing, but maybe keep SBAS enabled, as it may match with “GPS” satellites of other brand receivers.
