Old Pokey - 11/13/2012 23:25 So the base station power or line of sight is no longer an issue if I upload to the internet, right?
Remember that line-of-sight and broadcast strength might not be an issue, but you will still have a loss of accuracy at the rover as you get farther from the base. Within your 8mi radius from the base, you can expect "RTK-level" accuracy (i.e. sub-inch). Beyond 8mi, your accuracy will drop off due to the rover and base not seeing the same satellites. GLONASS can help with this issue, as it puts more sats in view. Just don't expect to go 20mi from the base and still see 1-inch accuracy.

 Ok, I think, but am not for sure, that I may actually understand how that works. There is that +/- factor in any correction scenario. So the further away from a reference point one gets, that +/- can amplify a small bit. ?

 Good thing is, as the crow flies, I am only about 1-2 miles in any direction of the base. 6-7 years ago, there was one small dead spot in cell service. It is no longer there as several new towers have been put up around that area. I have not had a cell signal issue locally for years now. Very good coverage here at this time.
