GPS Systems:

The Trimble R3 GPS system is a complete L1 GPS postprocessed solution from the industry leader in GPS surveying technology. Combining an L1 GPS receiver and antenna, rugged handheld controller, and easy-to-use field and office software, the Trimble R3 system brings precise subcentimeter control to your site, establishes new localized control, and collects topographic data. The system operates without line-of-sight between points, and it can operate day or night in any weather. Trimble Rental Available

• I have a Trimble 4700 that I would like to configure as a base station. The problem that I have is that I have a TSCe that shows Survey controller v11.4 but it won't open and run. As a consequence I can't configure the 4700. The alternative would be to connect to a PC to do the configuring but I don't know what software would be needed on the PC to do this (and which Windows versions are supported).
• I have a Trimble 5800 system and a Trim Mark 3 radio. We bought the system new in 2005, we are starting to to have radio connection issues. Seems like the range of our system has dropped of as well. We are using the original antennas and cables. Could this be a factor ? Also, is there any (affordable in this economy) way to "boost the horsepower" with our existing system ?

• I am having issues with my Trimmark 3 Radio. I use a Trimble 5700 set up. On my radio I am getting a code that I have never seen before. It keeps flashing sync and trans in the upper right corner when the base set up is started. I should only be getting a flashing trans. what does this mean and how do i fix it? also, I have Winflash and I can connect my 5700 recievers to my computer this way but I am unable to connect my radio due to not having the Trimmark 3 available in the selection box in Winflash. how do I update Winflash so I am able to connect to my radio?

• I'm working with a client on a very large highway project that is going to go Trimble Machine Control. My firm will be doing the layout the bridges and sewer/paving. Our problem lies in that Tribmle is not cross over friendly with site work and surveying. We run R8/M3 via 450/470MHz. I need to get the R8's over to 900MHz to work together with the machines and the site. I don't want to go SPS as its a step backwards and we already tooled with 6 such R8's. (not a small investment) So bottom line can to swap a SPS 900 radio with a R8/M3 as Trimble does not offer the 900 for there survey side. Yes I can set up my own base or go VRS but we need no added issues. Also I understand there are code issues over mixing SBS900 with Survey Controller. Thanks
• I have a 5603 DR 200. I also have a second 5603 DR200 that is not working, but has a tracker unit. Is the install of the tracker on my working unit straight forward? Does the instrument also need a firmware update? Where I live Trimble no longer support the 5600. My question the other day about the 5700 error log problem I solved by downgrading the firmware download and the download a freash copy of the latest firmware I am allowed. No error log and it is working fine. Thanks for your help.
• I noticed the 5600 2.4 GHz radio question of the 10 January. Must the 2.4 GHz radio be used with the Geo 600 in the 450 MHz band or does it need an upgrade as well? I was a bit confused by your answer. If that is so then what is the point of upgrading?

• My Nikon DTM-521 has been locking up the last week. Weather has not been below freezing and I have to disconnect battery to wake it up again and it just locks back up when I try and shoot a distance.

I also sent it off last year to have professionally calibrated. Any ideas.

• I run the Focus Spectra Precision 10. I have a 3 battery pack that powers it but the batteries don't last for a 12 hour day so I bought the gator clip cord to run from a 12V battery. My question is how do I connect the gator clip cord to run the instrument as you need the 3 battery pack to connect the collector to the instrument so you can start it? I have tried using the gator clip cord and just connecting it to the 3 battery pack on the other side(as there are 4 ways to connect to on the 3 battery pack) and it just doesn't connect the power. Hopefully you know what I am talking about with this question.
