My property is completely surround by a dense growth of trees. And yesterday was cloudy. I would go between RTK Fixed and RTK Float depending on the conditions.
Hi @JohnEH Good to see you’re having fun with PyGPSClient
FYI crummy weather and an indoor urban environment need not necessarily be a major impediment to good RTK performance. A good multiband antenna and a high quality NTRIP source can go a long way. Ideally you should have 10 or more satellites with cno > 45 dbHz for the best results.
Here’s an LG290P with a Beitian BT-184 mini choke ring antenna mounted in a inside loft space in Manchester UK (a city with mythically bad weather!) with a reasonably local EUREF/IGS NTRIP source (baseline 29km - not ideal but workable). Choke ring antennas, while more expensive than standard active patch antennas, are particularly well suited to areas prone to multipath distortion, such as urban or forested areas:
By the way - if you’re looking to install PyGPSClient on a Raspberry Pi or any other Debian or Arch based Linux platform, the quickest and easiest route is probably via these installation shell scripts.
