We use both, TSC3 is smaller and easier to carry. If graphics are not needed, I prefer the TSC3. Yuma has a lot more capability, runs windows, so othe...

Yes, I read it when it first came out. I wonder if anyone has a fabricator lined up that can make the targets and mounts?
The Trimble (Zeiss) rods are much better, in my opinion, than the Leica rods (used many years ago). Both made by the same manufacturer (Nedo), but to ...

Jesse: I did send the errors that I had found in to Earl, I assume he took them into account in the next edition. However, I was not reading the book ...
I agree with Jim, I have done plenty of large networks using single baseline processors, and the results were equivalent to using a session processor....
