Just wondering if anyone has any anecdotal evidence of what they've seen from using new receivers with Galileo??ÿ Almost all of my work for the past year has been in the open on cut R/W so I haven't heard much from the crews on way or the other.?ÿ I think I saw where the Javad guys are using it now??ÿ?ÿ

I'm not going to shell out for R-12s just yet, but I'm mostly wondering if I want to make the case to update the firmware warranty on my R10s.?ÿ I have a mixture of model 1s and model 2s, should do an equipment do-si-do and have everyone move the 1s to the base and make sure the 2s are rover.

I have a friend that owns an environmental firm and he has his own GPS to rough log wetland locations, he was asking me about the Emlid Reach RS2 and one from Stonex.?ÿ I told him he might want to check out iGage (CHC).

There really needs to be a roundup/shootout!?ÿ (I know, I know, hard to be completely scientifically "fair"; but for what I do it either works or it doesn't...)

I had noticed that even though my base receiver (Alloy) was sending Beidou data to the caster (SNIP), the R10 we had out for the long baseline test yesterday was only using 3 constellations (GPS-Glonass-Galileo). Even though Beidou was checked in the survey style.?ÿ

I just now tried a new R10-2 (upgraded to be an R12), and it is using Beidou in the RTK solution, so apparently, as Gavin says above, it requires the upgrade to be able to use all of them.?ÿ
