accurately over the control point, and that the GPS antenna height is measured
accurately, in the right way (vertical or slope height) to the right location on the
antenna (base of antenna or to a specified location on the antenna). When you start
the rover receiver, it is extremely important to check in, at one or more known
locations, to check for possible position or height errors. Checking in at a known
location is good practice and can avoid costly errors caused by a bad setup.

Typically, the tripod and fixed height tripod methods do not give significant height
clearance above the ground, and can reduce the range of operation caused by radio
limitations.

If you are using a Smart GPS antenna, use the 25 cm spacer rod provided
with the Base Station Accessory kit. This allows the radio antenna in the
receiver to clear the head of the tripod.
