@eric-kara After a bit of testing, are the photo points still 0.1 feet? Is that true for well defined paint stripes, angle points in parking lot lines...
@steinhoff I don't believe any commercial processor will solve without GPS as primary constellation, RTK engine for instance on my rovers will NOT sol...
@john-hamilton agree with GLONASS signals generally being noisy. I quite often ditch those, especially in our airbone data sets. I believe even if us...
I do NOT own a tilt compensated GNSS receiver yet, but from reading it sounds like at least the Leica GS18T does NOT need calibrating (other than a bu...
VHF/UHF to include 900Mhz are basically line of sight radios, more power and better antennas help, but you may be expecting too much depending on grou...
@bill93 you are correct, that is what I get for posting late at night 🙂 It is still a 6db loss in the cable, no matter the pre-amp gain. If the pre-...
@john-hamilton I made that decision in 2016, got my Technician and a month later my General. The Extra question pool changed on July 1st, so I got bus...
Way late to party John, but couple comments. 1st off, I hope that is something better than RG8 for use at GPS frequencies. Let's compare the loss to L...
@mark-mayer unless they are Leica 🙂 I have a prism pole about 1995 vintage that uses the same leg mechanism as the Leica bi-pod and pole tripods, hav...
Not much (due to not having an objective filter, who wants to fry the EDM?), but I have observed Polaris for azimuth a couple times in the last 10 yea...
As others have said, that is likely going to require a new hardware modem, there is a slight chance it is software changeable, check with Trimble to f...
@murphy the rural worthless land attitude has created a ton of future work for surveyors by previous surveyors. When something valuable is discovered ...
Correct, and for that reason my amateur radio use LiFePo4 batteries are under the airline limits in case I want to take a radio on vacation 🙂 For su...
I have an OmniDrive (USB version), works good and is only solution for the older PCMCIA-SRAM memory cards used in Leica gear in the early TPS series. ...
If you really want to step up your game, get a LiFePo4, flat voltage discharge, can use near 100% of capacity without damage, charges fast, lighter we...
@bill93 thanks for the link. I personally know Michael and sat in the room with him on the initial Oregon working group on the LDP's about 10 years ag...
@bill93 well in at least one, and maybe two software packages I never could get it to work, tried using the two parallel templates with same info for ...
@norman-oklahoma other than ODOT projects I see the same thing, one odd thing is all the firms still scaling SPC to ground, my gosh, if you want groun...
@john-putnam I was there with John, in hindsight I wished we had NOT created the single parallel Lambert zones, they continue to be slow to implementa...
