Yeah, interesting, but inscrutable.  I expect the infrequent way out
of bounds fixes.  I find that pretty normal.  The jump from CEP(50) to
CEP(90) is what strikes me as odd.

Just a WAG, maybe there is a delay in the base sending corrections the
rover.

Not yet.

Pretty much the whole time I had 12 sats in view and in use.

It is gpsprof, so I guess anything is possible.  I doubt the scatter
plot is the way to dig at the individual wanders.

My main attack for a while will we be in geting the numeric precision
solid.  Calculating things to about 11 significant decimal digits is
harder than it looks.  A 64 bit long is only about 10 decimal digits.

For example, my longitude is 121.314064921W, but a long can only
hold 2147483647.
