RTK radio will be illegal soon. Mine can't be upgraded.

TGO run out of gas last week. OPUS or RTK but no post processing these days.

My favorite TSC1 died today. Running on the spare, don't know what I'll do if it quits.

Light Squared is about to take down my GPS receivers.

I suppose the nice glide for the last few years after I got all this junk paid for is about over. I ain't going in debt again and don't wish to part with the cash. I ain't buying anything GPS until this Light Squared issue is resolved. So if anything else goes bad I'm taking a vacation from surveying unless I can do it with a tape measure.

How about looking at Waypoint GPS software GrafNav/GrafNet. Super software, supports all receivers, very powerful. It was my GPS software of choice when I was in the thick of GPS processing. I had TGO, but never used it much. The support is superior, and they won't leave you hanging with making it obsolete.

Yeah, I've looked at The Novatel and would consider it if I upgrade. Not until this Light Squared situation is resolved though. Not going to buy something that is going to be wiped out any time soon.

I'm sort of out in the boonies so Light Squared might not take me out until a bit later. Going to run my old junk as long as possible.

The GrafNav/GrafNet software is COMPLETELY receiver independent. It works really well with any receiver native file type or RINEX files. It will work with whatever comes out of the otherside of the LightSpeed changes and they do not rake you over expensive software upgrades it is part of their service.

Just an idea to consider over buying other software to get you through the time period.
