When the occupation asks for the antenna height (and I did specify the receiver type (Hiper Pro)), does it want the height to the base of the unit? I.E., 2meters if I'm using a 2 meter pole?

I ask because I'm used to the Ashtech Solutions, where I'd have to add the 2 meters plus the published height from the base to the antenna.

I assume I enter 2 meters there, but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks.

Yes, you can can either put in slant height or direct height to the reference mark on the antenna, whatever that might be.

Yes, for vertical HI measurements, it is to the bottom of the mount where you screw it into the pole. The slant height is measured to the slant height measure mark.
