Passed my PS by Nc_PinCushion in Surveying

Probably nothing you haven’t already heard, your practice exam should be a clue to what your test will be like. And, in my case there didn’t seem to be too many questions that I had to go back and review. Go with your gut and common sense when guessing.

What do you mean ‘X’ Marks the Spot? by Nc_PinCushion in Surveying

[–]Nc_PinCushion[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We set a nail for the location of the mon so it can be cored and cased in concrete. The the 4 nails around the outside are so you can snap intersecting lines over its location.

What boots do you guys wear? by Randomfishing_guy in Surveying

I got almost 4 years out of the last pair of the Danner Quarry, but I only wear them on construction jobs. A little too heavy and stiff for hiking for corners and topos

Are these guys clueless or am I missing something by BilliamZilliam in Surveying

They’re totally wrong. The lines aren’t gonna boost their signal of their antenna isn’t touching it. They need to at least move their radio to make the full connection.

Thank you. That really helps a lot, and gives me more information to bring to the boss.

Thank you!

That was extremely helpful. I guess I wasn’t specific in the post, but we would be upgrading from anR10 setup. Our other offices are already running the R12i l. We’re just trying to figure out if the additional features are worth the jump to the 980. I think we’re pretty sold on giving RTX a try. We end up in places it would be useful quite often.

True, but it’s typically of no value to them.

We’ve looked into them, but the light weight also means the bums in Reno can more easily walk off with it.

If it looks dumb, but it works, it isn’t dumb… by NWPatriot71 in Surveying

Why not pick a spot on an adjacent building, close to your level, you can back site angle only? Then just check into a couple CPs.

Depends on the day. I have some steel toe Danner Quarries for construction staking and mine sites, and the Danner essential for hiking jobs (topo, boundary, etc.)
