Thanks to all for the helpful posts and to Nate for a thought provoking discussion by phone. Cheers!
You are welcome, Big Al.
After you go and "waste a day or two" running around with another surveyor, who uses RTK, get back with us, and tell us what you learned!

surprised like heck that there are people out there still using Trimble 4000's. Amazing. I'm almost as bad with a triple of 4600's
My dad, went out today with 6 locus units, and has data for me to process.
He will be 84 in November.
Naw, he ain't gonna upgrade, but who cares?
