The Rover is NOT receiving Base corrections or the Rover
is indoors or under very-very heavy canopy.
When the Rover is in WAAS or DGPS mode, the latency
will cycle through 3, 4, 5, 6, 3, 4, 5, 6, … This is the latency
of the WAAS correction, NOT the latency of the UHF radio
correction.
The right-hand LED on the Rover receiver will not be
blinking:
1.
UHF: Is a UHF antenna connected to both the Base
and Rover?
2.
UHF: Is the Base broadcasting corrections? See
‘Verify the Base is Transmitting’ above.
3.
Is the Rover receiving the base corrections?
(Probably not!) The orange LED on the Rover should
blink once each second. If the Rover orange LED is
not flashing, check these items:
a.
UHF: Do the frequencies match on the
base and rover? The frequencies must
match, not just the channel numbers.
b.
UHF: Does the radio protocol match?
Typically ‘SATEL’ on both Base and Rover.
c.
UHF: Is the Rover’s ‘Base ID’ set to ‘Use
Any Base ID’?
d.
UHF: Is there someone else using the same
frequency? Both Voice and Data in use by
others on the same frequency will block
your Rover from receiving corrections
from the Base.
e.
Network: Is the cell connection reliable?
f.
Network: is the connection really valid?
Try clicking on ‘Disconnect’ then ‘Connect’
to re-establish the connection.
If the Rover is not receiving corrections (the right hand
LED flashing), do not waste of your time waiting for a
FLOAT or FIX solution. Look for the reason that
corrections are not active.
A receiver that is not receiving corrections will never
move to the FLOAT or FIX status.
