Why am I selling? I need to reduce the amount of gear so I am selling this kit on ebay if you are interested ( http://r.ebay.com/WkFfAz )
It is actually a very nice kit, same as the Carlson BRX5 GNSS with solid performance with the recent Athena GNSS engine.
DETAILS:
This kit was used by me but is fully functional and tested. This is a great system with dual hot swappable batteries meaning you do not have to shut the GNSS engine down to change out batteries. When logging static data, the base can last 8 - 10 hours on the 2 rechargeable batteries. This kit was used entirely for GIS mapping work 2-3 times so no dirty rough construction sites. It uses the same batteries as the late Trimble gear (5700, R7, 5800, R8 etc..) so you can replace those easily but I have included new batteries.
This kit is completely updated with the most recent firmware (v5.6Aa03). It is a great alternative to the expensive Trimble, Leica or Topcon receivers kits and worth a look if you are looking for capability at a great value. The S320 is optimized to work seamlessly with Carlson SurvCE software as they have also released their own re-branded model. You can use the Carlson Brx5 device selection in the SurvCE receiver setup for the best experience.
I will take care of the shipping by UPS and loss coverage, you only need to cover duty or customs fees if they are applicable.
Priced to move, base and rover kit for only $7900 USD shipped to continental USA.
Thanks and let me know if there are any questions or concerns,
Matt

MORE INFORMATION:
Featuring the Athena GNSS RTK engine, the Hemisphere S320 receiver is very capable and productive. The S320 GNSS receiver supports a wide range of satellite signals, including GPS (L1, L2, L2C) and GLONASS (G1, G2) tracking capability means you will have more than enough satellites to stay productive.
The S320 can receive RTK corrections from any UHF base station broadcasting in Transparent EOT or Trimtalk format (12.5k or 25k spacing) and CMR, CMR+, RTCM (v2.3 and v3) or ROX protocol. The internal UHF radio can be programmed by the end user to enable any licenced frequency (no trip to the dealer required). Also, the onboard 2G GSM modem can receive NTRIP corrections with a data-enabled SIM card inserted. So you can use this kit as a Base and Rover pair or use both as network rovers with an existing base receiver.
If you use GNSS for static base station logging, there is a removable SD card for data logging, this can be activated by the field software or easily on the receiver using the multi-function buttons. There is a free RINEX converter available at www.hemispheregnss.com.
This receiver can be operated with Carlson SurvCE or MicroSurvey Field Genius field software on your windows mobile data collector. (not included)

Slightly off topic, but do you know if the antenna brackets are sold separately by anyone?

Hi, no problem.
I am sure any official hemisphere dealer can provide the inversion bracket separately. Pick any dealer off this page ( https://hemispheregnss.com/Dealer-Locator ) and give them a call. The antenna brackets are Hemisphere part # 602-1096-000.
I know Rene at Bench-mark in Calgary Alberta, just north of the boarder has a large S320 inventory...
Cheers,

I ended up giving this kit up on a drade-in deal so it is no longer available (from me) and this thread may be removed or archived as required.
Thanks,
