Floating for a long period of time

Hello,

I've noticed for a while now that when I'm set up on a point to get a position, I'm not getting any fixed solutions for a solid 15-20 minutes. The LS is displaying the float symbol while its trying to connect to these satellites. This is happening whether I am going for a Topo shot, or a Boundary shot using those two profiles. On average, the LS it says there are about 12 satellites it can connect too. This is not always happening in wooded areas. Sometimes I am in the wide open, and it will hesitate for about 5 minutes, before giving me any sort of reaction. Looking for some input. Thank you in advance.

Is this with a Javad base? Or Rtn?

If you are not Rtn, then are you running off a base? If so, be careful that both firmware in both units are up to date.
Where are you geographically?
