Trimble R8 Model 2 GPS GLONASS L5 450-470 MHz Receiver 60158-66

Description: Going out of business sale. This R8m2 has been checked out by a local Trimble dealer and given an excellent bill of health. It was mainly used as a backup so it has spent most of its life in the equipment closet. Includes: 1 - Trimble R8m2 2 - Trimble Li-Ion Batteries 1 - Dual Battery Tray with AC Charger 1 - 6" whip antenna 1 - DB9 to Lemo Data cable PN 32960 1 - Trimble carry case 1 - Trimble extension pole The R8 GNSS Model 2 (R8-M2) was released around 2004 and continued to build on the same “hamburger” form of the 5800 and R8 - with a noticeable bulge on the top cover (radome), as if it were flexing its new GNSS muscles. Expanding beyond tracking the L2C civil signal, the R8-M2 added additional capability of tracking L5 and the Russian satellite constellation GLONASS. A second iteration of the R8-M2 came around 2006 to meet the European Union's ban on electronic devices containing lead solder. The new R8 Model 2 - version 2 adopted a grey trim instead of the yellow and blue of the previous version. Possibly a byproduct of the lead free solder - the second version seems to hold up better to vibrations and drops and offers extended Bluetooth range (up to 30 feet). Compared to the R8, the R8-M2 is a better choice if you’re surveying in areas that have moderate sky obstructions – e.g. intermittent tree coverage and multilevel buildings.R8 GNSS Model 2 Highlights:72 Channels L1/L2/L2C/L5/WAAS/EGNOS/SBASGPS + GLONASS11 MB internal memory Takeaway:The R8 Model 2 tracks GPS and GLONASS constellations. Along with L2C and L5 tracking, it provides better performance around obstructions compared to the R8 (model 1) but still struggles to maintain a fixed RTK solution around medium-height trees. Slower re-initialization times when signals are lost due to obstructions.
