We got two new R10's about 3 months ago.?ÿ Both are VRS capable, they also have built in low power radios and we got a 35 watt high power radio also.?ÿ Very powerfull system since we can use base rover or jut use VRS, ?ÿbut like someone said above, very expensive, about $46,000 dollars including tax.
Hi Forum
As the treadstarter I am looking for a GNSS reciver.?ÿ
I have read the 9 pages comments. As I read it both TopCon and Trimble are good but pricy. Leica have also been mentioned.?ÿ
To speed data input (only X,Y, Z in one point) the software in the controler should:
- enable switching from "auto Tilt Control" to "manual tilt control" via a data-recieving-trigger based on a digital-bubble-libelle on controler screen?ÿ (which is physical attched to the carbon fiber antenna-stick).?ÿ
- enable an average from x time data stacking
Last time I used a GNSS reciver was about 10 years ago. It was a top off the line TopCon or Trimble. I cannot remember which.
I recall speeding data collection in a aditional way ... my own "way"?ÿ 🙂
First I collected a dataset for point with high accuracy for the two horisontal plan values (delta X and Y) and with the vertical value (delta Z) at a low level of accuracy. A second data collection of the same physical point was done in revers mode with low accuracy for the two horisontal plan values (delta X and Y) and with the vertical value (delta Z) at a high level of accuracy. In the office I took X and Y from the first dataset and Y from the second dataset. To make a new - in my own mind - high accuracy 3D dataset in high speed. Thou this work flow might make more human errors in the process. I recall that the total time used seemed less that waiting and waiting for high 3D accuracy dataset in the field and then again still use time in the office afterwards to download and process data on a PC.
If this low technical working flow approach is still disired to do dataset collection of points. What would you surgest as hardware GNSS antenna / controler and processing software / controler software?

My advise to buyers is to shop for data collection software and then buy the hardware it comes with. One receiver is pretty much as good as another unless you are really stretching things to the limits. It's the user interface and compatablity with you office work flow that counts.
My advise to inexperienced users is to look closely at the dealer support, training, and user base.
