Is anyone else having trouble with satellites the past couple of days? Or do I have a $50,000 paperweight.

From around 2 - 3 in the afternoon is either office work, total station, or level runs in West Texas right now. Planning software shows that around that time there are only 6 birds in the sky and all the DOP's are high.

Yesterday (Tuesday) morning around 10 I got a call from one of the crews saying they had been good for a few hours, then suddenly showed only two satellites. I checked the planning software and it showed that there were 9 GPS and 5 GLONASS satellites available. After restarting the receivers a while later everything was good. Not sure if it was a receiver issue, satellite issue or something else.

Weird, I just checked into the board and my GPS is working but only 7 sats. I don't know if its my system or what? It about 2.20pm in western Illinois.

Other than that one odd quirk, we've had no other problems this week.
