Subject: Re: Outback vs. Trimble drift


The 332 is a much different receiver. The antenna would not help, since the 500 can not use over the air beacon corrections. You would have to get a 332 or 132 receiver and use it to feed the RTCM corrections to the 500. I have wondered why Trimble doesn't package something like their version of this http://www.hemispheregps.com/Products/AgricultureProductsGroup/Agri... in an antenna. It would take 2 cables, but it would make beacon available to about anything. It could be very useful a few years from now when solar activity goes back up.
The distance to a beacon is important. I work about 30 miles from a beacon usually, but my secondary beacon is about 100 miles away and I will get better than 1.5 ft in 30 min accuracy when using it. I do not know where the beacon distance/WAAS comparison would be equal, my SWAG is about 200 miles. I have been 11 miles from one for two days and could never detect any drift. However this was in a floater and it is hard to position one to the inch.
