Has anyone else been having strange inexplicable problems with their GPS Equipment? Ours (Topcon Hyperlite+) has gotten to the point where a previously collected fixed shot does not return the same coordinates on a magnitude of feet when checked back in to after doing some other collection (from same set up). Same equipment and operator for the last 5 years. No change in settings or anything else. Some days after about 11 o'clock it's done working no matter what the almanac says. Radio has been replaced recently (a year ago) and that had almost no effect on these issues. Some days are better than others. We've noticed this significant decrease in the past several months... ideas suggestions?

TDS Recon with SurveyPro, btw

When was the last time your firmware was updated? If it was when the units were repaired, there has been an update since then. The current version is 3.5

No, there is something wrong with your receiver or data collector. I'd also suggest updating to the latest version of your receiver firmware and latest/last version of Survey Pro. If you still aren't repeating positions within a few hundredths, send it in for repair.
