Shawn Billings is the closest to you. You should message him and I am sure he would be willing to give you a demonstration.
Anyone in Alabama using one?

To break it, I mean, a fully verified 180" shot, that is wrong by more than 0.16'. I have been trying.
Once, I went to a 1/4 cor. All covered up with pines.
I set it up to auto record, 5 shots. Went to lunch. Came back an hr later, and SHE WAS DONE. 5 shots. And, after averaging it, I'd guess I have it within 0.04' or so.
Just from memory, they were all close, in shot spread. Maybe the worst was 0.11' spread. The worst ones, had a string line pattern on the LS, and showed a LARGE shot spread.I'm 230 lbs and 6'2". I check decks, before trusting them.
GPS the same. If I think it is marginal, then often it gets shot twice or more. But, this old boy can't break it. Often, it gets the shot fast. I do believe it is BETTER than the BLM, on it's poorest shots!
O, and I am a practicing "pain" to the Javad team! 🙂

These sound like great results, I've been on the push for one of these for months, one thing that's not clear, perhaps this is just naivety, can these results be achieved through network correction or are they dependent on a base. Is a base required to use the almighty "beast mode". Thanks in advance.

It really depends on the network. I live and work in North Carolina. We have a great network with lots of Cors stations. I can use the LS as a netrover very productively. Other parts of the country maybe not so much. I still prefer to have my own base near for two reasons, closer base means better performance due to short baselines and to take advantage of rover static file processing. Some places I rely entirely on post processed base Rover solutions. This is only possible using a Javad base. Beast mode can be used with a network.
Can't say enough about the Javad GPS system. The support team & results are simply amazing. I've been hesitant to post about it because Javad has given me a "leg up" on my competition. The ease of post processing, software updates, etc. is second to none AND they listen to what we need.
I've used pretty much all of the "big" name GPS products and Javad just blows them away.
I am not compensated nor have any affiliation with Javad other than a user. Just my 2 cents.

I think this is worthy of emphasis: you *can* (and I do) use 5Hz corrections (I wince at the term "beast mode") with an RTN that's transmitting corrections at 1Hz. The Javad receiver uses a proprietary process that -- I think -- interpolates between the 1Hz corrections to feed the ambiguity fixing process in near-real time. It does noticeably affect performance in a positive manner.
