RTK will not fix: a practical troubleshooting order

Check the setup, correction flow and observations before repeatedly restarting equipment.

RTK will not fix: a practical troubleshooting order

Separate configuration from reception

Begin with the reference coordinates, correction format, antenna setup and receiver configuration. Then confirm that corrections are arriving and being used. If these are sound, inspect sky visibility, reflections, satellite geometry and tracking continuity. Repeated resets cannot resolve a wrong mountpoint or an obstructed observation site.

Change one condition at a time

Move temporarily to a clear test location and compare the behavior against the original point. Record the symptom and configuration before changing firmware or settings. Once a stable solution returns, check a known point and obtain independent observations where the earlier interruption may have affected production data.

Practical checklist

Practical checklist

  1. Check configuration and correction use first.
  2. Test temporarily in a clearer observation location.
  3. Validate recovered positioning on independent control.
