Very pleased with the basestation. Easy to setup. I am a novice in this.
I have a few questions however:
I have tried CSRS-PPP (data collection for 24 h.) and the build in PPP that converges. They seem to agree on longitude and lattitude however elevation differes a lot some 80 cm. Are they using different references? In my country we use DVR50 - I have a geoid .gtx file use to correct on my rover however here there is a consistent approx 20 cm difference when useing the CSRS-PPP for the basepoint, when compared to some know points I have from a professional surveyor. I have set pole height etc.
Any pointers?

Dear, Malthe
Read a good tutorial on frames - https://content.u-blox.com/sites/default/files/documents/reference-frames-correction-services-white-paper-online.pdf Read it, you will understand that "where" is closely related to "when". That is, coordinates measured 10-20 years ago need to be recalculated.

Built-in PPP from RTKLib, it uses AFAIK the ITRF frame. CSRS-PPP is at least PPP-AR, and maybe PPP-RTK, it is more accurate. About the methods - https://gnss.store/blog/post/rtk-ppp-and-autonomous.html

As for the height systems, they are different in each country. It makes sense to compare only the height above the ellipsoid, and not the height above the geoid.
