Surveying with a R8s and R12 Base with a R12 Rover

[@francisconunez3153]

Thanks Robert thats how I have it R8s full base and R10-2 with R12 upgrade as a Rover and I love it, thanks for your videos!!

[@DjWangYT]

Thank you very much for this one! Always wanted to know :)

[@zachtucker4159]

You're the man Robert! Thanks!

Great video Robert. I'm a bit behind on the "whats new" from Trimble. Pretty sure I see an R12 in my immediate future. That ProPoint tech is amazing... and a must have for working up here in NW Montana.

Hey Robert, for the gnats, ORS makes a product called Smooth-N-Hold Pudding. It can be found at Walmart or Family Dollar in the ethnic hair care products. I live by this stuff

[@SurveyingWithRobert]

Thanks man! I will give it a try!

[@sammcsam2419]

Love your t-shirt Rob!

[@SurveyingWithRobert]

Sam Mcsam thank you, it was a gift from Trimble

[@RickMarshallMaps]

Thanks for the great information

[@passingmongoose]

If you run two bases, on different frequencies, you can avoid dumping the rover and merely switch radio frequency, and immediately take a subsequent rtk shot, and now you truly have statistically independent connections to that monument or control point without waiting for a sidereal time lapse.

[@SurveyingWithRobert]

You are referring to duel bases or duel vectors. You have to offset one of the radio signals, both on the same frequency and use swap base.

[@AboveTheBigSky]

Robert, I have some R6 Model 4 receivers that track all constellations. Would these work in the same way as the R8s as a base for the R12?

[@medicated266]

This is such a good video, we'd usually run a repeater on highway work (linear feet mostly, straight highways) but now, if we could run two bases with radio - this would be amazing! Thanks for always posting good vids! Your SX10 video helped me out with scanning issues on an overpass in Madisonville, TX

[@SurveyingWithRobert]

jackson whalen when I introduced you guys to cell phone you will be blown away. 20 miles from your own base!

[@tanertaskesen2152]

Hi, is it possible to use the r12 together with the r10? this is what i got and i would like to use it this way. is there any way i can read how this is done? i am very new to this all...

[@SurveyingWithRobert]

Just set the 10 as a base and 12 as a rover. Follow the video I have on the R10-2 setup. R10-2 are pretty much a R12 and they all work the same. Hope this helps.

[@makatogonzo]

Can the rover swap base with a different channel rather than different delay?

[@SurveyingWithRobert]

No have to the same. Rover can only hear one channel at a time.

[@makatogonzo]

@@SurveyingWithRobert Good to know! Thanks.

[@munther_aldlimi]

Is that mean transmit delay not effect on precision or accuracy ? ... can you explain more about transmit delay .

[@SurveyingWithRobert]

It’s just an offset in the broadcast of the radio. Has no effect on the data just how it’s sent out.

[@munther_aldlimi]

@@SurveyingWithRobert thanks

[@JAVIERCDELVALLE]

WHY YOU ADD 250 MILISECONDS TO THE SIGNAL DELAY

[@jlmeyer7]

You would do this if using the same channel for the radio so that your rover can use either base. Source:Trimble website.

Confusing with Robert

[@SurveyingWithRobert]

Excuse me?

[@stevenconnell3206]

You couldn’t fill his shoes..

[@seanjohnson9401]

Can you use the new R12i as base and R8 as rover?

[@SurveyingWithRobert]

Don’t know why you couldn’t but that’s not the best way to use it. More power at your rover with a R12i. Unless you have a rover only R8.
