Hello,
We're trying to run some Trimble R8 rovers off a Leica GRX1200 GG Pro base. So far we haven't had GLONASS turned on. Now we're trying to make it work. When we turn GLONASS on, the base and the Trimble rovers quit talking to each other. A guy told me it was because I was trying to use CMR+ as the message type.
Does anyone know if that is correct? My other options (other than CMR) are Leica (proprietary, so can't use) or RTCM v3.1 or RTCM v2. . .
Does it sound like I'm in over my head?
Thanks.
Goodline,
This is easy....
The CMR/CMR+ message types are Trimble's proprietary messages.
The Leica/Leica 4G message types are Leica's proprietary messages.
You can use these messages between brands but I would suggest that if you are using GLONASS that you use the generic RTCM messages. Use RTCM 3.1 version but.... this message does contain more information than earlier versions and with GPS and GLONASS being tracked you need to make sure your over-the-air baud rate can handle the information between base and rover.
Also, there are sometimes small issues with using GLONASS corrections between brands. There is a GLONASS bias in each brand of receiver. If you have apples to apples as far as brands this should really not be a issue. But using a Leica base and a trimble rover the GLONASS corrections may cause issues because the trimble rover is not account for the GLONASS delay in the Leica base. See if you can specify what kind of base receiver (Leica) you are using in the software you are using at the rover.
Leica SmartWorx lets the user specify brand of base receiver you are using in order to account for this bias

just upgraded an rx 1250 for a cs 15. the new radio handle does not fit on top of the tcrp1201 smoothly, and the radio signal gets lost about every five seconds. the old radio handle had no gasket around the conductors, the new one does, and doesn't even look right on the edm, gaps are uneven

I think you have a bluetooth service running on the CS controller that is not actually connecting to the device it is searching for and this is causing the disruption to the radio signal from the RH handle. You either have a Leica RH15 radio handle or the RH16 long-range BT handle.
Can you tell if you have a RH15 or an RH16?
Good stuff, thank you.

Eddie, just take the black gasket off the bottom of the radio handle. It will be fine. Otherwise, just press it down on the contact side very hard and don't take it off (no real reason to anyway).
Radio handles and integrated radios have been discontinued by Leica. Unfortunately, radio communication does not get along very well with the video images of the TS15i. Therefore they have moved the the long-range bluetooth. It works great.
Got It
ok, we took the small gasket off. radio signal is better in the office, we will try it in the cold this morning. the radio handle does not look like it is fitting right. may try a metal shim under the connection brackets next. i don't want to see that robot go to the ground...

If you are really worried about it I'd get in touch with the local dealer or manufacturer rep. We all know it is an issue, or seems to be an issue. They may be able to do something for you. I haven't had to replace any for our customers, but if they were as uncomfortable as you sound, I wouldn't have a problem doing that.
