[FOSS-GPS] RTKLIB errors and warnings

[Josh Leighton]

a) Those look like fairly standard patch antennas, so I wouldn't be
surprised if you are unable to achieve a consistent fix.

b) The longer the better.  The accuracy of a proper fix can be on the order
of cm's, so the accuracy of your base station should probably be at least
that good.

c) If you're seeing an intermittent fix with low AR ratio, I believe it's
possibly an incorrect fix.

d) If you don't have a good fix, I suspect changing the base station values
by a small amount won't do much.  I'm not sure how important the accuracy
of your base's altitude is, nor do I know what the expected accuracy of a
good fix's altitude is.  Perhaps others here know more.
