Slow RTKfix (AR validation ratio)

Hello!
Why is the Reach RS so slow, or even impossible, to get RTKfix in comparison with other systems like TopCon, SatLab etc etc at the same spot?
The iPhone has good 4G connection, the RTCMstream is working good, close to the basestation selected from our RTKprovider.

Hi Johan,

How long does it usually take to get fixed solution?

Please share a simple system report with your settings.

Johan,

Sorry for not being clear enough. To help you, we need to see a snapshot of settings on your Reach RS. ReachView provides a simple way to share that. Go to the settings tab(gear symbol) and hit “Generate simple report” button. A new dialog with pop up with an option to copy the report. Copy it and paste here on the forum.

My preliminary guess is that you might have GLONASS AR turned on in RTK settings. This does not play well when working with NTRIP casters(see why in our docs).

Thanks for the quick answer. I will ask you to make the following adjustments:

  • Turn the glonass AR mode off
  • Turn Galileo on. The general rule is that the more satellites you see, the better
  • Try to increase the SNR mask value. It will let Reach work with better quality data

Hope this helps.

Thanx. Will test it right now.

Still no fix. Got 26 sats and 17 bases.
Been waiting 10 minutes. No fix.

This is getting interesting. Do you have raw and base logs from this session? I want to take a look at what kind of corrections you get.

12 posts were split to a new topic: Getting RTK Fix with Reach RS

My analisys is that the Emlid is just L1. Not L1/L2 which all of our other RTKgps-systems.
With that said, the limitations of FIX with just L1 is down to some kilometers from any base-stations.
RTKs with both L1/L2 can handle +20km from base without problems.

Any suggestions on that thought?

When will the Reach have L1/L2?

A post was split to a new topic: Getting more consistent Fix

Any thoughts on this assumption?

I am sure you are not… but just checking… are you under a tree or right next to a building? ; )

Is the PIKSI L1 L2? Is the Emlid Reach RS?

Is the Emlid Reach RS only L1 or also L2? thank you!

EDIT:

Never mind I see it is ONLY L1 : (
