Hello, I've been thinking about RTK base stations and wondering how delays
in sending effect overall error and also how fast (baud) is RTK signals ?

It is hard to give a number such as 0.5 m....
each company prudoce its own protocol, which means more bytes or less
bytes to transfer depends on your receiver. Normally each packet come
with a time stamp which helps to sync each packet from the base with
the rover packet, which was sample at the same time. I cant say what
happen if you get your base packet at 2 seconds delay and you sample
at 1Hz. I would guess you will increase your error...

The main problem i see here is the receiver clock error and satellite
clock error, which are the significant error parts.

i would guess that if you dont see 1000m errors, a delay of 1-2sec
would increase at about 10cm your inaccurecy (depending on the
distance between rover and base)
