Ditto. The receiver tries the eassy sats first, then tries to get
the ones with bad SNR. What is the SNR you see?

"active" does not compute. You mean "used"? That is normal. You set
your receiver to only track 4, and the reduce, or different, accuracy
that GPS means they get readily rejected.

Not sure "what "available" means. Also, look at your UBX-CFG-GNSS
again, you have a lot of control over how many are "tracked". You have
more total maxTrCh, than your receiver has numTrkChHw, so the receiver
has to trhough things out often.

More rubust with the proper antenna. Less robust with a GPS only, or
GPS/GLONASS only antenna.

I'm not ready to say "nothing wrong".
