As a bit of explanation, I have remained BEHIND the performance curve, all my life.
Used Transit and tape, (Yes, for real, in an active, surveying program) until 1986) then, went to a 2 piece unit, TM 20c. with K&E Autoranger on top.
Then, a NEW Topcon GTS 3. (That was heaven!)
Then, 3 LOCUS units, with Topcon.
Then, 3 MORE Locus units, with a Leica narrow beam reflectorless, and an ATV.
Then, Topcon Legacy E units.
Then, the Javad T2 base, and LS rover.
And, now, as other constellations come up, I simply don't want to "Live 10 yrs behind any more".
I want to KNOW, and stay current. Maybe even ahead.
I still drive an older 1993 Dodge 4wd diesel truck. With ATV in back.
I'm ok with being "behind" in my work rig. (It needs a new cab!) but, I cannot stand to lag too far in quality and performance, with my survey gear any more.
I want to stay current. And, I am finding others, who, like me, want to stay current.
Thanks for putting up with me.
Love the gear.
