I recently update all of the Software Updates and then attempted to do some GPS work using my setup, but strange things happened due to these updates:
1. I had trouble setting my antenna height. It kept reverting to a default setting. I, finally got it to work.
2. When I entered the SPC coordinates in the Base/Rover (Base setup) and hit apply it returned to the Base/Rover setup screen and a Download started. I don't know why? I had to wait about 5 minutes for it to finish. I went back to the Base setup screen only to find the coordinates had changed back to the previous coordinates. I re-entered the correct coordinates and retuned to the Base/Rover Setup screened and hit Send To Base. It completed and I started the Base Station and checked that the UHF connection was good.
3. When I began my session (about a mile away) I received a warning stating that I was in something like "Explorer Mode" and the accuracy expected in that mode. It asked me if I wanted to Exit that mode. I confirmed. What is this and how did I get in this mode?
4. My UHF indicator alternated, in about 5-10 second sequences, to Green 100%, Yellow 100%, Red Counting, Green 100%, Yellow 100%, Red Counting, and so on. It would not go to RTK, it would stay in Stand Alone although it was showing I had 19 Satellites in an open field. I check my setting and all was set for RTK.
I also noticed the UHF had additional settings and the setup procedure under Advanced Settings had changed (unable to select storage media). I just found these settings under Quick Setup>What to Record
Now since the current manual is now obsolete due to software changes, I hope someone can give me the correct or common settings for UHF Modulation, Transmit Period, RTK/DGPS settings, Raw GNS Data Setting, and any other new configuration changes that may have been made . Also explain the new application "Real Time Position Shift".
Dead In The Water! Any and all help much appreciated!
(I just received additional software updates, today, so I don't know if some of this has been fixed or other changes were made.)
