Fantastic! I found a couple also. I am more interested in transportation, moving the machine (portability) and the affects of this on accuracy.

I have approached the local distributor who can only provide anecdotal information. Thanks for your help.

Recently I used one, in field, with transporation by plane e and boat - a difficult access area - using a portable powerplant. The results were sactisfactory.

Thanks Clayton. We have been using them for almost two years with satisfactory results. However our new manager is worried because we transport them. I am trying to find research to back up my claim that transport does not affect results. It is really good to hear others have similar success.
