Download it, print it and/or just read it.

Miss Peach I believe

Page 2(Image 8) of the 82 page manual has a nice picture of all the parts you need. If you don't have something pictured, call your dealer and ask for a price.

"Logging Trajectories in Real Time"

I think Phil has a different impression of those words.

Looking forward to some more field reports on the Pm3 rtk. Anybody using them yet in production mode? I downloaded the manual, thanks for the link.

I'm kind of disappointed that their vanilla RTK software doesn't handle at least some projections. SPC, UTM, etc. I can understand not handling custom projections, but at least cover the basics. Secondly, I didn't see anything about kicking out an ascii file from the PM3. Sure would be handy to be able to take the SD card out with an ascii file of points to import into a data collector/laptop for COGO. I understand they want to sell FAST, but it would have been nice if they gave us a few more features.

Do you have to have FAST on both receivers or can you have the basic RTK on the base and FAST RTK on the rover?
