Trimble 4600 users have you been able to get TBC to work with the 4600?
I'm still running 4600LS units. I bought TBC and verified that it would process DAT files from the 4600LS, but after Christ Lambrecht et al furnished a good workaround, I haven't bothered with trying to get TBC to work on a regular basis. It looked like a major hassle with very little reward that would be a pleasure to skip. So I spend my energy doing something productive.
On the other hand, I'm still running *GPSurvey* and sending the vectors to pre-MicroSurvey Star*Net. Sooner or later, I'll have to upgrade, but fortunately not today. Maybe later. Maybe much later when better software is actually available.

Yeah, I'm still doing the same. I bought TBC but since I couldn't get it to download I sent it back to the vendor and now I'm using Ashtech's GNSS and Lambrecht's workaround.

Yes, a while back I did. I forget now if I used GPSurvey to bring the data to the computer and then import the files in TBC or straight from the receivers to TBC. Anyhow, the program recognized the 4600 antenna without a problem. As I recall, it was a smooth and easy import.

I have a fondness for GPSurvey. It's what I cut my teeth on while my dad taught me the basics of GPS Networks. I still have versions of Star*Net on floppy, probably graced by the hand of Ron Sawyer himself.

I'm pretty sure I have every version of Star*Net that Ron Sawyer ever sold. Each was a significant enhancement, relatively simple to use, and bulletproof. Ron had the excellent sense to recognize the power of simplicity.
