For a fairly good while, around 2:30PM till around 4:00pm ET, we struggle with getting a fix or decent RTK. We recently purchased an S3 for the office base. Today we again were in the wide open, and the LS was at float..... Another crew and there LS similar situation, they could get a fix, one minute locate a point and try to replicate the point, and it as 1' different. So I started turning off constellations. I went back to standard GPS, Glonass, and it went to working, it was slow but working. Turned on Galileo and it still worked but still not anywhere near 100%. So I looked at the S3 and it had flagged Galileo Satellite #18 as unhealthy. I turned off the unhealthy satellite and added back BDU and the LS went to working again.
It happens about the same time everyday, so I am guessing that since the 24 hour orbit, that is why the consistency. I will have a chance tomorrow to try and see if my theory worked, I will update once I know more. If others are having similar experiences, it would be good to collaborate to see if there are any similarities.
Thanks
