Hey gang,
I'm looking to add to my very minimal equipment list to be able to collect L1 L2 GPS (Glonass would be nice) static only data.?ÿ Ability to upgrade to do RTK at some point down the road would be nice, but no need for that yet.?ÿ One dependable unit would do for the moment.?ÿ Since all I need is static, what unit would you recommend that I can use standalone, and just download data to PC for OPUS processing??ÿ I'm aware that some units have firmware issues, so I need to be sure I get equipment that is fully functional (or that comes with a DC) to log static data then download.
Thanks!
Call Mark Silver at iGage.
This is a great unit and they have very reasonable and full featured softwaretoo.

I would recommend a Javad Triumph 2 receiver. I??ve had mine for years and holds up well. Upgradable to RTK at any time in the future.?ÿ

Hi,?ÿ

I have three dual fcy Trimble 4000 units one has 2 meg internal storage.?ÿ They all come with data collectors.?ÿ I've used these for static networks and OPUS many times.?ÿ ?ÿI'm winding down, and have no need for them anymore.?ÿ If interested please reach out.?ÿ

@mattsib79 I definitely agree. We were using few Javad Triump 2 receivers for Control Surveys. I'd like to add few comments with my experience,
Pros:
- Easy to carry in remote locations as the receiver comes in small comfortable carrying bags.
- Inbuilt battery is more than enugh for a full survey day. So no need to carry heavy backup batteries.
- Can be operated with Javad's NetBrowser Android App on mobile phone, so dedicated data loggers not essential for static surveys.
- It records .jps files but can be converted to RINEX with Javad's free app JPS2RING
- Upgradable to RTK when needed. Very handy wirefree bluethooth radio repeaters can be purchased for RTK.
- Supports GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO signals
- Cost wise competitive
Cons:
- Plastic cover has a tendancy to crack in corners. This issue can easily be fixed with available small plastic bumpers or a new cover.

You might consider straight static, save the extra 2K, and then get a different receiver when you want RTK.
I agree with what Jim and Gary said above.?ÿ For?ÿfour hundred, you can get a Chinese reciever,?ÿuse your cell phone as a controller and create an OPUS file with free ware. Or get a single button "walk away" with download to OPUS for 2K. A receiver that is convertible to RTK later, 4K.
If you use just OPUS, consider used GPS equipment. If you might use other computation services, get a new GNSS receiver.?ÿ
Good Luck.
Thanks for the help guys. I??m traveling, so apologies for the delay in responding. I??m leaning toward getting an older receiver that I can pay a few hundred bucks for just to get the static data for now. I definitely understand available options better now. You guys rock!
