Hi In my case, the antennas were nice brand new NovaTel L/L2/L5 Glonass rated survey antennas. The were up far enough to have a 360 degree view of the sky down to 10 degrees of the horizon. The runs I did used a number of modules, not just uBlox products. Some modules did worse than others on

Hi Been there / done that: The answers on position are off by 3 to 5 meters after multi day self survey. The answers on time are off by even more than that would predict. (> 20 ns but < 100 ns). Bob > On Apr 7, 2016, at 9:14 PM, Hal Murray wrote: > > >

So... Back to Bob's original observation. He stated that he DID shut off all sats except GPS. So, is the LEA-8MT better or worse than the LEA-6T (or LEA-7T, if available) when only GPS is used? I wouldn't think that it would be worse, but it wouldn't be the first product that an "enhancement"

Yes, they do. They seem to use different orbital, gravity, geoid, TAI, etc models. Trying to merge fixes from different systems leads to all sorts of problem, particularly at nuttery levels. I've seen reports that GPS and GLONASS fixes can be off well over 50 meters when referenced to the

Hi Bob, Can't speak to jitter accuracy but the M8 series is definitely not the same receiver in the 6 series. As you probably know, M8 introduced multi-GNSS support so in addition to GPS you have Beidou and Glonass satellites. At work we've had some gnashing of teeth about the wider

I recently bought a number of LEA-M8T receivers and I have to say that I am unimpressed, so far. They don't survey to the same reported accuracy as the LEA-6T in the same amount of time. They certainly aren't better in the jitter after sawtooth correction. So, have I managed to overlook some
