:bad:
I''m working on 200 Acres. I'm going to use the TS to do the survey and follow behind with the GPS on points I can get. I don't expect to get a lot of points as it is mostly wooded.
Good plan, please keep us posted.
Nate's Suggestions for choosing a RTK BASE Site.
Best is 100% sky view. On a tall hill. The highest for miles.
Take your inclinometer, and stand there, and spin in a circle, looking at 10å¡ UP. This is my mask angle. I am looking for objects obstructing, above 10å¡. If you have to have a tree there, let it be an oak. Not Deciduous (Pine). If you have to have a tree, let it be in the northern 140å¡, and let it be as small of an obstruction as possible.
NO metal barn roofs, near the base.
Not a good idea to set it near enough the highway, for occasional multipath, from passing trucks.
Not a good idea to set it across the road from a cafe. I saw one set that way, and an 18 wheeler parked beside it, (maybe the driver was eating lunch) This is leaving yourself vulnerable.
I hear alot about RTK is not accurate.... but not alot about procedure. Your rover can have wide open sky, but the BASE be by a bridge, and you can be multipathing the base all day long. Talk about dithering things!

Alright they are taking care of me on this one.
They are sending the new data collector here and I can use the wrong one until the new one comes.
Feeling better about everything. At least I won't be down and out for another week or two.
