My RTK rover is able to use GLONASS satellites, but they are not showing up all of the time when I am using WISCORS, what is the issue?
It appears that when your rover becomes initialized, you are likely receiving data from a minimum of three GLONASS satellites to achieve what I will call a GLONASS Initialization (G.I.). Once this G.I. has been accepted into your WISCORS solution, WISCORS network will continue to use the GLONASS satellites to augment the corrections sent to your rover. The GLONASS augmented corrections will continue, even if you are receiving only one GLONASS satellite. If you lose all GLONASS satellites, it appears that you must reacquire three of them in order to reacquire a G.I. again. This has no effect on the use of U.S.-based Navstar Satellites. As time permits we will do further testing on this topic.
