Anybody with a Javad LS (and Javad Base) want to drive up in the Wasatch Mountains next week and take a "little hike?"
Man, the conifers (and not yet leafed out quakies) are kicking Matts' R8 Model 1's BUTT .
Seriously, I think we are beyond the GPS_able threshold on this one.
Six Mineral Survey Corners on Thursday, ZERO RTK fixes!
Matt collected static data on each one (20-60 minutes each).
2 resolved (FIXED) no sweat with L5 Narrow Lane solutions (and they look pretty good)
I was able to get L1 Fixes on 2 more (42 minutes & 23 minutes), but I don't trust them! (DON'T look good at all)
1 was a float no matter what I do (56 minutes AND it stinks)
And one just crashes (3-4 birds for over a half-hour), no surprise there.
Longest baseline was ~ 500 meters...
Man I hate it when that happens 🙁

Awesome!
Wish I was a little closer. I would be more than happy to do a demo there. Just a little to far of a drive.
I'm 20 hrs. away from you.
Somebody closer, will show up...

So Loyal; Have you forgot about Triangulation, Trilateration and Traverse. I guess you have reached the pinnacle-

DANG, Loyal, I would like to go just for the hike!! I could probably still carry the DC.
However, we have to head back to PA Tuesday.
Kathy and I are visiting our daughter and family in the Park City area.
We had lunch at The Cafe Galleria in Midway on Wednesday.
We wanted to go to Mirror Lake in the Uintas however, the pass was still closed.Grant

More so than I like to admit.
We have been working on this project (more or less) since 2013, and we have had to traverse to quite a few corners.
If we have to traverse this area, we will be looking at about a mile of traverse, 700 feet of relief, and traverse legs in the 100-200 foot range (if we're lucky). About 30 Mineral Survey Corners, one å? Corner, and maybe 60 Bearings Trees.
I'm getting too old (and lazy) for that kind of stuff.

I will pack my work vest, tool belt, and boots next trip.
Sounds like a dirty trick to get someone to operate the machete and tote the beer...
Where do I sign up?
Loyal send me the Lat./Long (box corners) that you are working in so I can look it up on Google Earth. Send it to my e-mail address.

Well.. If we end up traversing it, we are talking more along the line of Sandviks, Chainsaws, and wedges (to look into the BTs).
Of course there will be shovels, rakes, trowels, whiskbrooms, probes, Carsonite Posts, and of course MONUMENTS in either case..

Loyal I looked at Google Earth for the Wasatch Mountains. I see no problem. Peaks just above 11,000 feet; you say your work will have 700 foot change in elevation (up and down, up and down ..............). As long as you are in shape like a Mountain Goat piece of cake. For me I would need a oxygen
bottle and a helicopter to boot.
Don't forget to send me your Lat/Long of the job so I can see better what you are up against.
Hope you are resting today. A cold beer and bengay might be the answer.

Update:
Mark Silver is up there with Matt right now, AND getting some GNSS Fixed solutions that look pretty GOOD (on points that defied post processing w/ GPS only).
A technology upgrade may be in "our" future.
