I just sent in a digital review copy to a local county. I referenced two monuments that were planned for removal as part of construction project. I ...

@norman-oklahoma Multnomah County now except digital review copies. You still need to mail a check before they will begin the review.

Can't say I've seen that before. Back in the 90's I did have a crew, using a T2002, bring back some topo data where a large number of shots had almos...

As others have said, I doubt you will ever hit the maximum operating temperature of your receiver. Just looking over a couple of data sheets, both th...

It looks like the RS4 UHF only modulates using the older GMSK. While it should not be a problem because both Trimble and Leica are capable of receivi...

@protracted I think that issue would be addressed in the pre-plat phase. Most, if not all of the jurisdictions require you show utilities on the prel...

@tom-bushelman Did you hand him a bill in return?

Coming up on 40 years next summer. I was a budding young glaciologist on a research expedition when the head of the program looked at me and determin...

Leica's switched to Lunix on the TS20 because of Windows 11 lack of support for monitors under 8". I'm guessing that means other vendors will be foll...

I really wish Oregon had classifications for surveyors. In Oregon, the PC is paid based on Power Operator Group 2 while the tech is classified as Lab...

@cvt Theoretically that would work, but only if you could keep the prisms aligned on exact same vector from the point of interest. Slightest of chang...

According to a white paper on Leica's site, the AP20 is actually more precise than a manually steadied prims pole and slightly less than a prims pole ...

@robertusa Typo, I meant to type no exception. As far as low watt, back in the day, a lot of surveyors thought no license was required for broadca...

@robertusa Yes, they are merely FCC compliant. All fixed frequency UHF radios used by non-governmental survey equipment requires an FCC license. ...

In Oregon under ORS 105.8, triple damages+ can be awarded for knowingly removing a tree or shrub on another property. Double damages+ can be awarded ...
