This is something that is going to be very state-specific.

"Telling them I think there is something wrong with all of our 3 Trimble s series robots because some people on the internet said it should shoot much...

"Unfortunately I can’t go in and tell my boss that we need to send all 3 of our robots in, only because they’re shooting slowly in semi active mode." ...

One would not have to be overly clever to fashion those parts in a home shop from readily available stock and using common shop tools. I'm thinking a ...

“Well, it could be a communication, radio, issue ....," A really good point. I had a Topcon PS with a Ranger 3/Survey Pro dc at one employer. There ...

A bare land ALTA is usually fairly easy to do. At least not much harder than a comprehensive boundary survey.

You may be overthinking this. NGS doesn't establish passive marks in the 21st century, so I don't think that you are going to find a lot of recent wri...

Available for purchase new. Not cheap.

I'd encourage you to test that for yourself, not just accept what you may be reading. Orienting the diodes to have one face the instrument as well as ...

I agree that 7-8 seconds to get a shot is ridiculous. It would render the function unusable. And the product unmarketable. Since the product markets v...

Now I'm unclear on why you want to change from active to passive and back from shot to shot. I've done plenty of construction layout with the S5, much...

Measuring in Google Earth, it looks like the 900' figure is more probably correct.

I understand the fear, but not every cycle ends in a 2008. Most end in a slight cooling and last months, not years. Things are still cooking along h...

The Code of Ethics of both PLSO (Oregon) and LSAW (Washington) includes passages about issuing public statements only in an objective manner, which th...

My experience with the S5 and the active prism is that it finds that thing instantly if it is anywhere in the field of view, snaps to it, and holds on...

It is noticeably faster today. Alas, OPUS is not.
