So earlier this week it was raining and I thought i'd setup the Trimble R8-II under an umbrella to do some fast static post processing. This resulted in an elevation error.
Has anyone experienced similar problems while using an umbrella?

I have not experienced this, however, I can imagine that the metal in the umbrella supports may tend to cause multipath interference.
