3. RTK mode
1) Time from disconnection of RTCM3 data until RTK mode is released
UM982 = 10 minutes (default), ZED-F9P = 1 minute


2) When the distance between RTCM base is 1m
RTCM3=1005,1074,1084,1094,1124,1230
11.5hour measurements

RTK 1.636cm 2.964cm 1.023cm -0.918cm




3) When the distance between RTCM base is 14.8km
RTCM3=1005,1074,1094,1124


4) When the distance between RTCM base is 23.7km
RTCM3=1005,1074,1084,1094,1124,1230


5) When the distance between RTCM base is 45.5km
RTCM3=1005,1074,1084,1094,1230

4. PPP mode
If there is no interference from the 1.5GHz band LTE signal of a mobile phone base station, it seems to be RTK Fix.
The following is data when GGA positioning status = Float RTK and RMC mode = Precise.

1) B2b-PPP mode (BeiDou B2b 1207.14MHz)
B2b-PPP start command
  CONFIG SIGNALGROUP 3 6
  CONFIG PPP ENABLE B2b-PPP

2) E6-HAS mode (Galileo E6-B 1278.75MHz)

  CONFIG PPP ENABLE E6-HAS

Memo
PPP fix takes about 7 to 10 minutes after issuing PPP ENABLE command, but convergence takes about 30 minutes.
Small patch antennas will probably need a ground plane (SNR 35dB or better seems to be required).
It seems that if you correct the offset, you can obtain fairly accurate coordinates even in Japan.
5. Memo
1) Convenient to obtain azimuth with one module and two antennas.
2) BeiDou B2b PPP and Galileo E6-B HAS PPP supported.
3) NMEA sentences are not output by default (commands such as "GPGGA COM1 1" are required).
4) Azimuth by ANT1 and ANT2 is output to "Heading" of $GNHPR, $GNTHS, $KSXT sentence.
5) ANT2 side is almost never RTK (DGPS or Float-RTK).
6) By default, even if RTK is disabled, the NMEA status continues to be RTK for 10 minutes (with an error of 30 to 70 cm).
    For surveying purposes, it is recommended to change the time to 60 seconds using the command "CONFIG RTK TIMEOUT 60".
7) GLONASS information is sometimes not output in GSA sentences.
8) GSVH sentence output settings are not saved to NVRAM.
6. Observation of LTE signal antenna output using a simple spectrum analyzer.
Using USB tuner (DVB-T+DAB+FM) and spektrum (signal level is relative value).
