Hi guys,
after reading the manual and watching the tutorial I’ve been able to set up my 2 brand new Reach RS+, one as rover and the second as base. All the settings for wifi, app and LoRa went perfect and is working very stable.
My problem is that I placed the base over a known GCP, set the position as manual and the rtk as continuous. For some reasons there is no way to get a fix, not even a “float” status. Both devices get a lot of satellites (gps and glonass active), but no fix. Tried to restart, and even let quite long time to the base to get a fix, but no fix.
What can I upload to help someone run a diagnostic? I checked a lot of other topics and looked for a solution in the manual, but i haven’t found a solution.
I was having the same issue and more particularly when setting a manual coordinate. First it was pointed out to make sure that the entered point was not far from the actual coordinate. Second is learn to play with different constellation groupings. I get in areas that seem to have allot of trouble with GLONASS and have this issue. I turn it off and run GPS/Galileo/SBAS and it starts working. Sometimes I have to swap with QZSS. A little frustrating at the beginning to have to do this manipulation, but I had to come to terms with the fact that I am running a very affordable, single channel system and not a very expensive L1/L2 or L5 system. In all, my main trouble is pretty much GLONASS so that the first thing I turn off in Central Texas. Besides that, I am getting very good results with a 2-3 minute float as long as it is stable which is fine for when I am shooting drone points.
Generally, the more sats the better accuracy, and the faster fix.
That said, I have also had problems with GLONASS, but that seemed to be due to interference from a factory, as it is the only place I have had that problem.
Yes, GLONASS is just my first guess in my area. A 2-3 minute occupation of the point is giving me a good enough coordinate for my current needs. Repeatable stakeout within 2 inches.
I tried Fix-n-hold after read your answer, still no fix
I can see the grey bars in the rover Reach RS+
I switched back on the GLONASS
I tried again today setting the base position as relative after 10 mins of collecting, but still no fix. Attached I send you the full reports of base and rover.
