RTPK

I have not upgraded to RTKP. Does this have a similar performance impact as moving from a hard to disk to ssd or dialup to broadband on a PC? I can't imagine operating a single day on the old tech unless I had too (and it would be painful).

Any thoughts are welcome.

100% worth it… I have been super happy with my results since using it. On long difficult shots sometimes you can see that the RTPK will get 1-2 or even 3 fixes before the RTK finishes its verification. I try not to store early but every so often you know you have a good fix that won’t climb over the hill… RTPK helps with the confidence to store it and keep moving. I have upped my field procedure and been storing three vectors on my woods shots ever since I’ve had it. Hope that helps…

Is it worth it? For sure. Is it a game changer? For sure. It allows you to get profitable data, beyond radio range. And, it’s getting minor upgrades, and running better now, than when it first came out. I expect it will continue to improve.

How do we request a 2 week trial? Michael has authorized those in the past. I sent him an email or two, but no reply. Is he working for Javad?

Thanks. I am anxious to test and today will be a great day to do just that...

Thanks for the replies gentlemen.

Hi Jim, Thanks. I will get you a trial of rtpk ordered in the morning.

Michael Glutting is no longer with Javad GNSS.

Thanks Adam!

I take it Michael is no longer with Javad?
Hi Jim,

Yes, Mr. Glutting is gone. Not sure if I will miss him or not. I did not receive the sort of support that I feel I was due from Michael.

Jim, you and took delivery of new Javad units. courtesy of Micheal Glutting in the offices of JAVAD GNSS in San Jose on the same morning back in 2014 or thereabouts. I am much older and heavier now than back then. How long did your original owners manual last? Mine: 4 days. lol.

Seriously, give the RTPK option a look. I have historically not received faulty data from my system. If conditions are too poor to get an easy fix, the system doesn't give me a bogus value. It is frustrating not to get a solution often times, but getting a bad solution is worse. RTPK appears to provide an additional check independent form the regular data collection.

If a solution obtained does not match with the RTPK solution, I throw it out and remeasure. Hasn't bit me yet. Especially when using my TLS+ with a a good T-3 base. Heavy canopy is much less of an issue now with RTPK. I don't know how it can, basically, perform a DPOS session during the data collection, but it is.

Ralph Dominguez, PLS
