What a great little system ! I've been using it a good bit in the last few months since purchased controller back in November. Really appreciate all that I've learned here on the forum from folks like Nate the Surveyor, Shawn Billings, Matthew Sibole, others and all the developers on the Javad Team. Although this system has only a quarter of the channels as the Triumph LS, it still amazes me in high multi-path areas using the RTN. Once you read the manual several times, especially on RTK Verification, everything falls into place. There is so many ways to verify your position if there's any doubt; i.e., distance to last point, confidence and consistency levels, verification with selected # engines, saving of raw data to post process, etc.
Last project was cutting out 33 acres, part of the boundary was at the corner of a 150 acre tract. Located all the existing corners and the proposed corners with the owner (1 day field work). Computed the acreage (1/2 day office) and then staked out the corners and staked a few lines using my brothers Triumph LS with radio RTK (1 day field work). This site was very bad with multi-path (pine forests and hardwood lands). I don't think I could have used the Victor LS/Triumph 2 in these conditions for stake out (I didn't try). The Triumph LS ruled in these conditions and minimal time was spent on station, staking out the actual new corners. Verification of my original locations performed with the Victor LS/Triumph 2 checked < 0.1' both horizontal and vertically. Also re-measured all staked points for verification while on station. Surveying is so much fun again when I can get out of the office !!!
I don't know how the other surveyors do it without Javad ! I'll back my data up all day long with the confidnece of the Javad system.
