I am using MAGNET field on a Tesla with a PS-103. I ran into a problem when trying to run a stakeout for the first time. How do you stake a line from say point 100 directly to 105, without it including 101,102,103, and 104 in said line. When I set 100 as start and 105 as end, it highlights red + signs on my map view and doesn't draw a line directly between them. In my ranger you could punch in 100,105 to accomplish this vs. 100-105 which included all points in between. There has to be a way to stake a line between two non-consecutive points without including everything in between. Thanks for your help.

Have you tried staking a line instead of staking points? it is a useful routine since when you are using it with RTK or a robot, it is constantly telling you how far up the line you are from your starting point and how far left and right.
You simply tell it the beginning and end point numbers.
Not sure if that is what you are after

I am using a Sokkia robotic with magnet field. Like Gregg mentioned, are you using stake out line? Cause I do not have any problem setting 100 - 105 without setting those in between. Do you have a screenshot of the + sign? as I have never seen it before.
