Does anyone know if TDS Survey Pro Robotic support communication with the RC-2 with bluetooth. I know it works for the regular RC-2, but I have the RC-2 with bluetooth and I cannot seem to get my recon running Survey Pro Robotic v.4.5.3 to communicate with my RC-2. Does anyone know if this works? If so can you let me know your settings within Survey Pro. I am also running this with the Bantam type radios.
I have the same exact setup only difference is I have a ranger and satel radios . mine works fine feel free to give me a call and I'll pull out the ranger and go through the settings [msg][/msg]
Yes i have that setup with ver 4.7.1. in tds settings are
Brand = topcon
Model GPT-8000 remote
Serial port com1
baud 9600
parity none
then under instrument settings in TDS
remote tab
radio = Generic (Bantam)
RC-2 = Y-cable
at the bottom of that screen
Note: RC-2 dip switch 3:on

So Mark,
You use "RC-2=Y-cable", even though you aren't using the Y-cable? Just to be clear, I have the RC-2RWn, which is a bluetooth version of the RC-2, which doesn't require the Y-cable. At least in theory it doesn't, I can't get it to work that way though...

I think you will find that the recon is the problem. I had trouble with bluetooth and the recon. using the rc2 as a radio is much slower than a regular radio, get some hayes instrument bantams, they work good out to about 1300 feet
