...coring is more accurate than boring... not sure how that slipped through...

Stuff to do prior to:
* Understand how to do the stakeout method of RTK survey
* Can our R8s rx at 418mhz? ... yes. Need to get that setup.
* setup loggernet.iarc.uaf.edu and transfer the barrow dreamplug data there?
* check installed programs on barrow dreamplug
* load coring holes onto GPS
* scan fieldbook

Stuff to bring:
* Shotgun
* GPS setup
* Toughbook
* SC32B
* Serial Cables
* Toolbags
* replacement power supply for barrow dreamplug

Barrow Tasks:
* Download Grid Soil Moisture Data
* Change power supply for dreamplug
* check out C site SR50A cables to see if they can be repaired etc.
* Check on Grid Battery

RTK GPS Survey

2013-04-10T22:39:19Z

137.229.29.152:

... Abridged version of notes from the RTK class.

* Set up Bluetooth communication with the GPS: ''General Survey -> Instruments -> GNSS functions -> Bluetooth''
** identify both the rover and the base GPS here.
* Set the Survey Style: ''Main Menu -> Settings -> Survey Styles''
** ''rtk int radio'' = internal radios on both gps
** ''RTK'' = use an external radio for the base.

2013 April Update

Trimble 2009 Geoid (for loading directly on to the TSC3 / TSCe Controller

Connecting to the Barrow RTK System:
* http://baid.utep.edu/dgps-support ...there is a pdf on here available for download.
http://facility.unavco.org/project_support/polar/barrow/equip.html

So, maybe the TDL450 radio can't tie in to the barrow network, which seems to operate at 418 MHz:
http://facility.unavco.org/project_support/polar/barrow/equip.html
''In addition, the base station transmits real-time kinematic (RTK) broadcasts at 418 MHz (CMR+ format at 9600 baud). ''

Handy document showing how to change the receive frequencies for the R8 so that it can receive Toolik and Barrow freqs:
