A quick search showed that Trimble R7 and R8 received GPS L1 & L2C as well as GLONASS. Leica System 1200 is a similar system. These are ment for geodesy.

Oh, thanks for reminding me. Don't forget to check out the NORAD santa- tracking. http://www.noradsanta.org/index.php Cheers, Magnus _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
