Trimble R10 base with R12 rover
For those that have some experience with this. Lets say someone used an R10 Model 1 Version 2 or an R8s as a base in an optimal wide open location with a R12 rover, what are you giving up if anything? They both track the same birds. The Model 1 and R8s does use 440 channels as opposed to the 672 used by the u R12 but how much of that 440 channels worth of data is broadcast to and used by the rover. Would you expect to enjoy the canopy performance potential of the newer receiver on the rover end? If not then how does someone expect to get higher performance with a new receiver on a VRS network given that the reference stations might be 1 or 2 generations older? I somewhat expect its Trimble whispering in our ear to spend another $27K to buy the latest base.
Thanks in advance.
