I need some advice. I am trying to establish a base by doing a static session and converting my .BIN file to a Rinex3 file then sending it off to opus. Where I am having trouble is after I get it back from OPUS and enter in into my data logger then go check a NGS my horizontal is close (within 6") but my vertical has a fill of 6.62 FT. I am not sure where I am going wrong. I've made sure my base height is right, I converted my Base height from ft to M for Opus, My rover height is correct, I've tried to do another burn to see if I possibly got bad info from OPUS. I can't seem to get my height to line up with the NGS. And yes I have tried to check it on a different NGS and still same problem. Any suggestions? Thanks.

What datum & how good is the published vertical of NGS point(s) you are checking?

Just because something was run through OPUS doesn't mean you're going to match all NGS control stations.

If you post up the OPUS report and the NGS datasheet it would be helpful.

@rover83 One is off of a railroad that was last discovered in 2017 and the other is in the parking lot of the Missouri Department of Transportation Building in my city.

What are the PIDs?

If you're seeing the exact same discrepancy on two different monuments, and you have two OPUS solutions that are agreeing with each other, then something is likely wrong with either the OPUS input or with the RTK setup.

Agree.  6.62 feet is suspiciously close to a 2M fixed height pole.
