Seems like they are all current Javad users.
I spoke with a former Javad dealer/seller.
He tried to "bait and switch" me. His advertisement showed a Javad LS, as his main display.
Tried to sell me some other brands.
He had no Javad equipment for sale. Just a fake ad.

bout 15 years ago, in one particularly unpleasant gig, i was hired to run a couple r.o.w. extension projects. the company had a couple javad antennas, i guess they were sold on them for their supposed prowess in shooting under cover.
keep in mind i was new to GPS at all at that point, and it was 15 years ago. but the memory that stands out is waiting for upwards of 20 minutes, with an antenna up probably 10' off the ground, trying to get a fix. i just remember thinking "if this is the best there is..."
and yes, even at the time i understood that i was "learning" about GPS from one of my new minions who, in hindsight, was maybe a sandwich or two short of a picnic.
haven't ever had the chance to put hands on javad since. all the caterwauling marketing sounds compelling- but around here they'd have to come up with some solution for competing with the incredibly robust networks available by the big 3 in order to make it make sense.
Javad antennas, without Javad receivers connected, would not improve any other receiver under canopy.

of course you are correct.
i honestly don't recall what receivers we were using, but i'd bet a box of donuts they were javads.
