I am looking to trade in my 815a topcon which has been a hammer for me, absolutely no major complaints in the last 10yrs. I am looking at either a topcon 9003 or a 5603. Not sure which has a better track record since I have been out of the market for such a long time.

I will be using a getac with field genius to run my robotic as well as my chc GPS network rover. Has anyone had issues with micro survey field genius driving either robotic?

Thanks for your time

Todd

I don't much about both models, isn't the 5603 as old as the one you are trading?

The 5603 might be, I keep hearing how solid it is.

I did see a post regarding issues with the topcons x-trac7, anyone have other problems with this?

I will be using Troy Deatons bluetooth radios to connect.

Anyone have thoughts on this setup:

10 year is a good run with a piece of equipment, kudos.

I'd say invest in something that will bring carry you for another 10 years. Not sure if any of these two models fit the bill.
