Re: Trimble Geoexplorer 1,2 date problems

Sam, they admit the problem but claim that the wrong dates dont affect
processing. Well that is crap. If you use Rinex files then you are stuffed
because they use dates for matching records!!! There goes your ability to
use differential corrections.
Their excuse for producing incorrect data is that it doesnt matter!!!

Anybody else annoyed by the failure of Trimble to properly fix the Y2K
problem with their GeoExplorer GPS units? They claim that the wrong date

differrential correction then the date is scattered throughout the
records.
I am amazed that in litigation crazy US that Trimble have been allowed
to get away with this. Didnt Congress pass a law mandating Y2K fixes?
