Trimble 5700

Check on ebay for the going rate.

> We have a Trimble 5700 we bought new in 2000. It is fully functional L1/L2/RTK with radio and antennas. DC is a TSC2.... I am considering selling it. What value would one put on a NAVSTAR only, fully functional setup, ready to go to the field today?
Kris, meet Kevin. Kevin, Kris. OK guys, work it out and send me the 5% finders fee. Let's start the discussion at about $4k. Kevin doesn't really need the dc, or the radio, maybe you could get another $1k for the TSC2 if you sold that separately.

The radio isn't really worth anything if it isn't narrowband. If it is you can likely get at least another $1k for that.

I would be interested in the TSC2.

Just out of curiosity, have you looked at the Trimble V10 that couples to the R10 or can be used with a total station? I'm somewhat interested from an academic stand point. I was just talking with my local Trimble supplier yesterday and he said he hasn't seen any interest. I have no idea what it costs but if it works, I can see some real potential. Being retired, I'll never buy one but would like to hear if anybody has drank the kool aide and what their experience turned out to be. Does it do what it says it will do? Is it a huge pain to run the office side calculations? etc. etc.

I'd be in favor of you buying one so you can report back to the rest of us. 😉

The radio is narrowbanded.

I don't really want to piece-meal this out if I'm going to sell it.

I'm sure you would. 🙂

I have seen what you're talking about but didn't consider it in this purchase as the VX I have works very well thus far.

Just looking at the post about Kevin not needing it so if that works out I'd be interested. Something to keep in mind I guess.

John we're very interested in the V10 and are going to evaluate one as soon as possible. Right now they're still unavailable, our dealer doesn't know when they'll get one.

The receiver itself is worth about $4,000 or so; the TSC2 about $800; a narrowbanded radio about $800 if it's a TDL (ADL) and in good shape. Assuming you have all the related accessories I'd put the bundle at $6,000.

My apologies. I assumed he was joking as he hasn't sent me an email regarding it yet.

Hey Lee
If you are anywhere within reasonable travel distance from the South coast of Oregon,let me know if you line up a demo of the V10. If it is ok with you I'd like to stand in the background to watch, listen and learn.

Despite what they say, old dogs like to learn new tricks.

I'm with you Mr. Minor!

I'd love to see a demo somewhere here in Oregon!

We work in tree lined streets all the time where even GNSS has issues.

It would be nice to go through those corridors with something like a V10
and then be able to use those pictures as pre-construction photographs as well !

Curious I am!

A couple of weeks ago Kevin Samuel was asking about a cheap receiver to collect OPUS data with. A Trimble 5700 would fit the bill very nicely and used for that purpose alone wouldn't require a dc. Or a radio.

I think that at this stage your equipment would be most valuable as parts for someone needing to keep their existing setup going, rather than as a full "new" setup. Now, if you had a rover to go along with that base, that would be a different story.

Depends on what you consider reasonable... I'm in South Louisiana

I did note that it was a full setup. 🙂

Components.
1 Zepher Geodetic Base Antenna, Receiver, cables, and batteries
1 Zepher Rover Antenna, Receiver, cables, batteries and 2m fixed height pole
1 TrimMark III 25 watt radio narrow-banded
1 Radio Antenna with cables and power supply cables
1 TSC2 Data Collector with Survey Controller V. 11.32

This unit, as a complete system, is capable of RTK and static work with a functioning base and a functioning rover. My avatar picture is me holding this rover. Last time it was used, two weeks ago. Successful OPUS solution from the base gathering data, RTK points, and static (infill) points made all in one survey.

I suppose I should have noted the above as a list. My apologies to all in this thread.

Heck son, you went to business school.

1. Paint it camo
2. Stitch a duck commander logo on it
3. Enlarge the avatar photos
4. Put it on ebay as the ultimate swamp survey system. Locate your blind to within 0.05' just like the precision agriculture guys
5. Minimum bid $12,000

That's hilarious dude. I like DD. Great show. I'm not into merch or trading on another's name though. Scruples I suppose. 🙂

Thanks for thinking of me fellas!

My third mini-me is forthcoming and I just don't have the scratch available right now.

Looks like a great package though.
