California Surveyors Forums

I would appreciate some feedback on the following:

Are there any issues to be aware of when starting a base in RTK mode vs. RTK & Infill mode, other than logging data to the base receiver?

Is it necessary that all rovers operate in the same survey style as the base at all times?

Is it possible, when tying known control for calibration purposes, to switch styles in the middle of the stream, say if radio link is no longer possible in RTK style only, and RTK/Infill style is necessary to complete the rest of the ties?

Thank you for your assistance!

RTK/Infill logs at the base receiver and transmits radio positions for RTK. If you select RTK/Infill at the base and RTK only on the rover, there shouldn't be a problem with any RTK work you do.

If you switch styles mid-stream and the base is set up to log, then you'll be fine, but unless you are logging at the base your style change at the rover won't help you much... unless you want to OPUS or have a CORS that you can use for post-processing.

Tristan,

A much belated thank you for your comments. :)

I think we are to the point now where we are comfortable using the infill option.
