What to do with retired T-2's?

[Nate The Surveyor]

1.) If you have vrs and a cell phone with javad mobile tools, it can be a new rover. Not as robust as the LS plus, but in the field it works I'm told. I have a lot to learn here. How to get files in, and out of it. How to do a lot of things.
2.) If you do Elevation certificates, used static, they work. JMT again to controll it.
3.) It can also function as a remote antenna, via Bluetooth. With the LS in the cab. Again, it is mostly 2.5 constellation. GPS. GLONASS, and a few pieces of Galileo, and bedieu.
4.) I'd like to hook it all up on a remote control boat, with a depth finder, and use it to survey the bottoms of rivers or ponds.
Anyway, mine will be retiring soon. I think.
It was worth 5k new. I'd guess it to be worth 500 to 1200 if you could find a buyer. I don't really see me needing it badly.
Suggestions?
Thanks
I'm sure I'm not alone.

You can also set it up as a permanent base station at your office.

I keep mine around for the times when I am grading. I attach it to the front bucket. I also have used it on the tractor for bushhogging property lines.

I saw your photo of it mounted on the tractor bucket. What do you use for a controller? JMT? I'd like to see more of your setup and how you use it.

 

[Adam]

Yes, jmt. Carlson survey will work with t2 as well.

 

[John Thompson]

Can you stake to a surface with that setup?

 

[Adam]

Yes

You could also use the T2 as an external receiver and use J-Field on the LS to stake out a surface.

If I get cell modem running, and I have a t3 on base, broadcasting to or through an IP address, could I potentially run the t2 as an additional rover, via cell phone and mifi? This way I’ve got 2 rovers running off one base?

 

[Adam]

Yes

 

[Nate The Surveyor]

Where does jmt store the coords?
Does jmt do RTPK?
How do you get coords from jmt into the office computer?
Does jmt create any sort of raw file?
So we have a history of how coords were created?
Thanks

Is there a tutorial somewhere for connecting the T2 as an external receiver to the LS?

 

[Adam]

Well, it was under Home 2, System, Connection Setup. But it isn't there in the version I am looking at.

@Eugene Aksyonov where has this been moved to?

You should be able to set it under the advanced settings - Antenna.

This functionality is removed on Linux base version of the J-Field application. This is a first time for the 3 years when someone wants it, actually.

What the purpose? we use T2 as a base with LS, not like a controller for the Rover.

It's not necessary.

It's not necessary.

It may not be necessary, but it is a $5,000 paperweight. (I have two of them, that's $10,000 worth of paperweight.) I think the upgrade to T-3 was a great move, just would love to get more function out of the T-2's.

I don't think it has been removed that long Eugene. I see it still there in J-Field 3.0.10.414 and Linux 4.4.190.13
