Spent the day staking property line. I brought along another surveyor since a 1/2 mile of it was in hawthorn and junk. Turns out the R10 didn't even notice. We were in canopy for much of the morning 1/4 mile or so covered the west end of the E-W centerline of a Section and about the same covered the east end. The rest of the day was in mostly open ground and we set the remainder of the lines in a couple of hours. Plus the little base radio got the entire 2-1/4 miles we had to stake even though there are huge hills and deep valleys along some of the line. It seems to be even better these days than it was when we first got the receivers. I was in some of the same stuff with my R8's staking a mile of line a few weeks ago before the leaves came out and it did OK but struggled compared to the R10, which didn't even blink the entire day. ?ÿ
How can that be? It's not a Javad.
R8 base and R10 rover??ÿ I hear that's a popular configuration.
If you don't mind me asking? What kind of canopy? I'm in the Alaskan rain forest and sometimes can't get within 20' of the tree line here without losing satellites. I'm working on getting my company to buy an updated system.
Uh-oh, maybe there was a spy in Javad headquarters.
Aspen, hawthorn, plum, and other stuff. The brush reaches up to 20 feet, the trees much higher, the R10 has problems in deep tall pine forests.
Tag, question is the R8 / R10 combo more reliable with canopy that a R10 / VRS system? Asking for a friend....
R10 base, R10 rover. It works with the R8-R10 but not as well.
The R10 radio went places the R8 would never go. We didn't need to set out the repeater once even when behind large hills, but you can still survey for a limited time without radio when using the R10.
