I may need to rent your beast mode; the multi-path is bad out hereB-)
Standing at the S1/4 of Section 30, looking north into light snow 4degrees, thankfully no wind:
Looks like prime prairie dog habitat. Care for a donation of a couple million of them that could be gathered up willingly by disgruntled landowners in other states?

They are lucky, prairie dogs haven't immigrated there yet
Well well what do you think I am replying with my android, My regular computer is out. So now I'm learning about Wi-Fi and all these little gadgets that teenagers use. I'm feeling like a teenager!
My regular computer runs on microsoft xp. my new computer will be running Microsoft 10. I sure hope it will get along with carlson!
I'm thinking multipath thoughts for you, hahaha
Did you know that with the Javad LS, you can have 1 page on state plane coordinates and another page
On your local coordinate system.

I did not know that Nate, are you using that in the field?
For me I do like having "true north" or "true northish" (within 3' is nice) when retracing Section lines.
One of the real nice things about GPS is you can navigate down line and look for tie downs and old line evidence, so much faster than the old days.
That actually helped me find the 1/4, driving my 4 wheeler and finding a tie down and a couple of really old fence posts got me on the correct northing, my calc was way too far south (about 60').
With the Javas LS you can set about 10 pages I forget exactly how many. Each page can have its own coordinate system its own rotation and still in the back ground on page 0 it's all based on state plane coordinates, It's handy in the field to have a local coordnate system. Page 0 gets renamed spc ar south. And set to that. That's where your base station is.
Page 1 gets renamed local on true north, at se for sec 36.and then set to that.
Page 2 gets renamed old Jones survey, and if you can find 2 pnts of that survey, localized in it.
Then in the office pure state plane or any mix of the above.
Some of the actual doing of the above requires that you pay attention...
But when you get her going, she is awesome!
Replying with android...
Another thing is you can click any field shot and it will tell you theta angle and scale factor.
You can click on 5 field shots and get the average scale.
Usually it's best to set the LS up with state plane coordinates as his base system. then find theta for any point. apply that rotation for that local system and now its set.
Once you see what it is doing it'll make you "trimble" all over ha!

Umm, my whole takeaway from this thread is that if Nate is feeling like a teenager, then we can probably expect the size of his crew to be larger later in the year 🙂

Me too, I thought the post may have been about something else.
:-$
Y'all be careful now you going to hurt my feelings. Ha!
You know there's three phases in life when you're a little kid you're hungry when you're a teenager you want to reproduce when you get old you want to be comfortable I'm stuck right in the middle I got all 3 I'm going on!
I'm eating. I'm not saying. And my wood stove is running.
And, I wish I were out with my Javad gear. But, I'm reformating my hard drive, gonna reinstall xp.
The computer in the shop is gonna get win 10.
I don't like too much change.
And I'm typing and talking to my Android device to post on the surveyor forum. It's different!
No new baby.... This month. Sorry. And my computers are down still.
