Geodimeter 610 still for sale (price lowered)

I am interested in moving towards a robot but I am not sure what more is required to get this up and running. I use a leica tcr 1105 now with onboard data collection and I have an Allegro CX that I use with the Sokkia gsr2700isx GPS.

since I do not have a radio that would automatically communicate with the geodimeter I assume that a new data collector is required.

Any clues from anyone??

You'd need a DC with "Robotics" enabled. Most standard DC software offer this an upgrade only. Both radios look to be included with this set-up. The Geodimeter 600 is getting a little old and I'm not sure if the newer versions of DC software support it. I have pretty much this exact set-up and it's a nice gun, best tracking robot I've ever used, but parts are getting scarce. Last time I brought mine into a Trimble dealer (Trimble bought Geodimeter) they told me if I ever needed the radio repaired, I'd have to upgrade to the new 2.4ghz models (I think they told me $4K) and when the main board goes out, it's toast. I use a Ranger 200C with Survey Pro 4.1 (Full Version).
