@ChrisOlson and @jimovonz thanks for the discussion on RTK.
I do think it is time we opened a new thread on this topic so the myths and truths about RTK can be aired in one central point.
I do a lot of work with a Spacial Analyst who has been doing high end survey work for over 30 years, and have seen him get quite heated with discussions about RTK accuracy as he prides himself on always getting sub cm accuracy in the work he does.
There is, however, one thing I have noticed in this and other discussions, and that is, RTK being referred to in general without the qualification of how many frequencies are used.
Even from my ‘mechanics’ viewpoint of having to setup the gear and get it working, if anyone expects to maintain RTK Fixed with a single frequency L1 system (Ublox) then good luck to them, because it aint gunna happen.
I just tell my Spacial Analyst associate to ‘smile and nod, smile and nod’ when he gets hot under the collar seeing single frequency systems pushed as RTK solutions.
So a seperate thread on the whole RTK thing is well due in my humble opinion.
