Did you try with simultaneous mode of ambiguity resolution and use a smaller min ratio to fix ambiguity, such as 2 or 1.5?

Kind regards,
Yanqing

The position that I input for the base station is a 5 hour average (though it seems to have lost some precision when I pasted it?).  I have tried both Continuous and Fix and Hold Integer Ambiguity Res.  I’ll try to attach screen shots of rtknavi.

I can get relatively jitter-free floats and occasionally fixes, but these fixes don’t last long and I’m not sure they are actually globally accurate (ie: if you restart the software, you may get a fix, but it may be several meters from your last fix).  Sometimes a fix goes away and never seems to come back.
