any particular reason to stay with only these two brands? And, have you tried the factories over there? N
@bill93, yes, I know, but, if you provide the proper metadata, then the rotational paradigm becomes fixed. If it is not provided, then it is still fla...
Another problem is you will sometimes find a bearing to simply be a concept.... It's not a mechanical reality. Like the 2"x4" lumber fiasco. Lowes got...

On the survey equipment front: Call up other surveyors. Who use various brands of gps. Ask to shadow them for a day. Learn all you can. It's a little ...
The John Evers report is: A new saying: Javad did not just raise the bar. The bar is gone.
I'm a cheapskate. But, I have it set up to donate monthly. It's not a big donation. But this is the most valuable surveyor resource anywhere. Period. ...
The Triumph 3 is out now. It's a multi-constellation base, with internal 1 watt transmitter. It can be run with Bluetooth connection to an external ra...
