I think there are two issues here. I have skewed surveys built on 2D data using 
3D fixed points and that seems, to me, to be what is happening here.

Firstly, if your radiolocation point has no depth information then you cannot 
use it for a 3D skew which I think (I may be wrong) as it is insufficiently 
accurate.

Secondly, if your survey is both only in 2D and has an apparent error of as 
much as 150 m from the radiolocation point then there is something wildly wrong 
with the data.

Your best bet - and yes I have been forced to do exactly this - is to resurvey 
the cave to 3D standards, whether this be compass/clino or Distox and start 
again.

Sorry, but your dataset is simply not good enough.

Adam,

Radio-location can give you depth but accuracy is not too good.
How have your surface positions at the entrance(s) and the radio location been 
determined ?
Professional GNSS (~3cm), DGPS(~1m) or hand held (~3m) ?

I have radio-location fixes at the far end of a system to control any 
accumulated azimuth bias.
For these I have assigned an elevation to the radio-location equivalent to the 
cave survey at the radio location point and used an appropriate SD value for 
the radio location data. You may have to iterate a few times and experiment 
with SD values to see how it changes your survey with and without the radio 
location fix(s).

Also better if you have radio location fixes at different points because 
geology effects the position.
Use several in the survey - you should see how they fit (or not) - reject the 
wildly out ones, adjusting to the rest will help reduce any bias.

150m is a lot of difference so I would be looking at the positional method 
used, datum and grid, survey instrument calibrations, declination values and 
then get additional radio locations to confirm. If you are dealing with older 
survey data then you may want to consider a compass bias - does a survey 
rotation significantly reduce the difference ?

Add label altitude to that station and use it.

The altitude needs indeed to be given, but you should also specify that it is 
highly unreliable by giving it a every high standard deviation, like:
fix MyRadioLocation   accurate_x_coord   accurate_y_coord approximate_altitude 
3 3 1000 # stddev of 3m in x and y and 1000m in z This should guaranty that 
this fixed station will not have a big influence on the altitude in the loop 
error compensation algorithm.

Hi everybody,

eurospeleo meeting in Austria starts tomorrow. Me and Martin (Budaj), we are 
leaving there tomorrow and we will be there until Surveying workshop on Sunday 
afternoon. If you are interested, we could meet at welcome ceremony.
