ReachView v2.9.3 - RTK performance boost

It is pretty solid for ground ops, but is truly appalling for aerial applications.

I can get a solid lock on the ground with rotors turning, but as soon as I lift 2m in the air I have lost lock. At first I thought this was RF interference, but there is no reduction in SNR. My baseplate is now 10cm so, not a problem with multipath.

Is there anyway to rollback to 2.8.0 that seeemed to work for me before.

Edit to post a day later.
Although there was no visible change in the SNR It appears that the motors on the Phantom are extremely RF noisy.
I moved the reach unit to the bottom of the leg and shielded it and was able to maintain fix through a flight. Still feels a bit ‘tender’ but getting better. I think the difference between what I experienced with 2.8.0 and later versions was actually due to the change from an aluminium chassis to a 3d printed chassis, not a software change. Apologies for the negativity.
