5700: Still works, still collects GPS (only). Older firmware has incorrect date (1997), but that can be fixed before processing. I have several older receivers, 2 4700's (use them a lot), 2 5700's (infrequently), and one 4400 (hardly ever). But they all still work. I use them along with newer models (R8's, R10), no problem. Trimble I think would like them to be obsolete (to sell more new receivers). They are a victim of their own success. Same as the GPS satellites themselves, they have greatly exceeded their design life. No difference in the quality of the post processed positions. In fact, for static work, I prefer to do GPS only. Other GNSS does not seem to help. But, for RTK, it is a big benefit to have multiple constellations, at least GPS+Glonass.

I've never done much static here in Belgium, but you made me curious, can you enlighten why?

John will undoubtedly have his own reasons, but an L1 fixed GPS solution is still the gold standard for space-based positioning in my book.

Not L1/L2 dual frequency fixed?

L2 is used to calculate the iono delay, but if you can fix the L1 integers you're golden.
I understand FS is superior to RTK speaking for the precision (not for costs), but I'm curious to hear why the Glonass birds have no additional value for FS?
