SP80 base/BRx7 rover setup
Here’s the scenario:
I have a Spectra SP80 dish (w/o internal radio, although it does have a SIM card) that I want to use as a base. I have a Pacific Crest ADL Vantage Pro radio and the kit that goes with it (antenna, cables, etc.). I ordered a special y-cable for this to connect the ADL to the SP80 via lemo connectors and power to both via sae and a 12v car battery. Both units power up and I can obtain a position on the SP80 display.
I want to use my Carlson BRx7 as a rover. This is where I falter and I believe it’s due to my own lack of experience with any of these brands. I am using a Carlson Ranger 7 data collector (the one that looks like a TSC7) with SurvCE. I can’t seem to get anywhere through the base or rover options within the data collector and my sales rep is rather awol. I don’t blame him, we are between Christmas and New Year’s.
Where do I start with this? Can I make this work? Am I simply missing a radio frequency setting, baud rate, or am I going about this the wrong way? At this point I am unsure where to begin.
