The six engine is only using 2 constellations per engine (instead of 3 or more). So, no issues with too many signals.
Multi-Constellation with Standard LS - Tips for getting started

Is there an estimated date for the "New Release" for the standard LS that allows adjustment of the Maximum Signals and Maximum Signal core? Prefer not to use pre-release.

"I believe the 2 engine version to be more robust than the 6 engine version."
When would be the time to use the 6-eng instead of the 2-eng ?

This will sound pretty dumb, BC, but I would use the six engine multi-constellation firmware over the two engine firmware when it out-performs the two engine firmware. I wish I had better data, but I don't. You may just have to give them both a go from time to time to see if one performs better.

Shawn, On the Standard LS I have tried the 2 and 6 engine (4 Constellation) setups using the State RTN. The advatage so far is when in sketchy sky either of the two 4 constellation setups have more sats to choose from. When GPS coverage is weak, Galileo may be strong. But in general the two 4 constellation setups may work or may take a half hour to get through any verification, irregardless of the reported health of the networks. Do you think this will improve with the next software update allowing the long press selection menu to reduce the # of Sats in the solution?
Won't know until you try it....

You can switch back-and-forth between the six and the two engine setups (or to GPS/Glonass) in the middle of a shot without ending the point collection, so trying them both out is a pretty straightforward process. So far I have not seen one that’s obviously outperforming the other.

If you switch back and forth during a shot, it will stop the GNSS recording to use for a dpos solution later. Or at least that was my experience.

Good point - that is a drawback to switching. I wonder if you check the box that says "begin continuous recording" in the raw data box if that will result in recording a single continuous raw file (jps file) even if you take multiple RTK shots on a single point. Can anybody tell me how the "begin continuous recording" works?

6 engine is a beast. I like it alot
