Reduced Radio Range R6 R8 HPB450 Trimble Setup

gpsit · 2014-01-14T20:16:00Z

We are using an R6, R8, HPB450, TSC2 Data Collector. At the start of the day we can reach 7 miles using GNSS data. In 2 hours we are down to 200-300'. We have two of everything and we have the same results. We have even hooked two deep cycle batteries to bolster power, only to extend it for a short time. I agree with another post that you need to buy Trimble in 3's, One in shop, one on the way to and from shop and one working. I have 2 and it doesn't work. A 3 hour job is taking all day and killing the profit line. Either need to find a solution or change systems. What is the best GPS GNSS system out there that is reliable. Trimble 4700's were great, everything since is questionable.
