I've been using UBlox F9P/F9R units recently and it's really quite amazing how good it is. The ground receiver doesn't require a large array of anything, the base station fits in the palm of my hand and mounts onto a regular photography tripod. The radios we use to send the RTCM3 stream to the drones are quite tiny too, the antenna's about as long as my finger.

How’s the accuracy on cloudy days? I’ve been playing with uBlox ZED-F9P and accuracy degrades unless I’ve clear sky.

Like the other replies said, I’d suspect you might have an issue with your setup. We’ve used 3 different antennas and they’ve all (to my knowledge) performed beautifully.

I see your email address is in your profile. Today’s a stat holiday in many parts of Canada, but I’ll look around tomorrow and see if I might have some data to support/refute my assertion. Our pilots, nominally, write down the weather for every flight, so I might actually have some clear sky/cloudy data that I could share from the base station.

Something is up with your setup. Check that the active antenna you are using meets the F9Ps relatively high gain requirements for the LNA amplifier.

Actual impact on accuracy for outdoor short baseline rtk should be close to non existent.

I agree, we have these deployed in the field and have no issues with weather due to using more than the L1 band. Something isn't configured correctly or something failing, such as the antenna.
