ProMark 500 Under Allocation
|
Uggh! Allocation comes three months early!
The ProMark 500 receiver has been superseded by the ProMark 800 receiver. You can read my full description of the changes/enhancements [ here ]. Basically the ProMark 800 adds 45 additional tracking channels, Galileo tracking, L5 tracking, an upgrade to a 3.5G cell modem, and an upgrade to the Pacific Crest ADL radio.
We had thought that the ProMark 500 receiver would be available in quantity for at least the first quarter of 2012. However they are currently under allocation. Customers wanting to purchase ProMark 500 receivers without GLONASS enabled should contact us immediately. PM800 receivers without GLONASS are not available!
This early changeover should not affect any customers who purchase units with GLONASS enabled. The ProMark 800 includes GLONASS on every receiver and the incremental price increase from the ProMark 500 to the ProMark 800 is only +$15 (in the US market).

If you have any Ashtech questions, don't hesitate to email them to me. I will do my best to get you an answer.
Hopefully you will continue to find these notifications a valuable resource, however if this message has found you in error, you can use the link at the bottom of this message to get off the list (really, it does work.)
There is a complete list of all of the past notifications [ here ]. If you know of anyone with Ashtech equipment who might benefit from these update notifications you can add them to this list with this link: [ Add or Delete a user ].
Good survey and mapping to you all! Mark Silver,
