I have been noticing an odd occurrence lately that I can't explain or understand. Sometimes, seemingly randomly, 5/5 will change to 5/0 in the RTK Status Box as shown above. Usually these numbers stay at 5/5, whether I have a fix or not. This is using a T2 with a 1W UHF radio at the base. When this happens I am unable to get a fixed position, regardless of whether or not I am in canopy. It's like I have a bad radio connection, but if I check out the Comms info, I can clearly see that I have good radio comms. The issue seems to come and go randomly.
The update to the user manual for JField 3.0.5.280 explains these numbers: Number of RTK corrections per second/Number of fixes per second. This makes complete sense, except that normally the numbers stay at 5/5 whether I have a fix or not. It seems to me when this happens, there might be a comm issue between the base and rover, maybe the rover isn't receiving corrections, but if that was the case, shouldn't the numbers be 0/0?
Is this a bug? Any help would be much appreciated.
