NOTES :
1. Depends on multipath environment, number of satellites in view, satellite geometry, baseline length (for local services) and ionospheric activities
2. Depends on multipath environment, number of satellites in view, satellite geometry and ionospheric activities
3. Option required on both base and rover. Also requires communication link between base and rover
4. Transmission in free space
5. Lithium-Ion battery performance degrades below -20° C (-4°F)
