    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has had issues using the AX with RTK, specifically; without a corresponding base station unit?

    QGC shows 30+ satellites, but the RTK icon displays 0 sats. In testing, the AX can't hold position in the air, essentially it is without GPS but is reading 30+ sats. I've left it powered on the ground for 15mins+, still no difference.

    I'm wondering if there's a parameter setting that assumes a base station will be used, therefore prioritising the RTK for flight modes requiring GPS. It's my understanding that it should work similar to a standard GPS when not using a base station, this doesn't seem to be the case in our tests.

    Any insight/experience would be great,
    Thanks,
