Just out of curiosity, has anyone experienced radio issues near bodies of water?
I was surveying the other day. The base was on one side of a reservoir, I was on the other.
I was a little over one mile from the base. Base was transmitting at 35 watts. About one mile of water between us. Line of sight to the base.
When I got closer to the water, I would lose radio corrections. This was with both the internal, and external antenna.
When I went higher in elevation, or when a building would block my view of the water, I would receive corrections without issue.
It was a shallow angle from the base to the water, to the rover.
The only thing I could think of was multi-path, not much else happening in that area that could cause the loss of corrections.
