KENWOOD 2 Way Radio Repair, Warranty or Service info

Stakemill has used the Kenwood Service Center East on a regular basis since 2002 and we have been very satisfied with their quality of repairs and response times.  They are a Warranty/Service Depot only, consequently they deal in large volumes which enables their facility to invest in the best diagnostic and repair equipment available.  Also, they have Radio Technicians that specialize in specific lines of radios to increase the efficiency of repairs.  They also have an advantage (compared to Radio Dealers), in Parts Inventory levels.  Warranty repairs are performed @ N/C.   

Following is some insight on the Kenwood Serial Numbering System.  It is only necessary to provide a copy of the Invoice to prove that the radio is still in warranty (the 1-2 Year Manufacturer’s Warranty starts on the date of purchase by the First Radio End-User not on the date the Radio was originally manufactured) in instances where the individual radio’s Serial Number is past the 1-2 Year Manufacturing date.  Otherwise the Kenwood Service Center will recognize that the radio is in warranty just by looking at the Serial Number.

 Serial Number Dating Format:

• The First Number corresponds to the Kenwood Fiscal Year it was manufactured in.

• The Second and Third Numbers correspond to the Month of manufacture.

• Kenwood's Fiscal Year is April through March.

• 2006 is represented by the Number 8, 2009 by the Number 1, 2010 goes to 2, 2011 will be represented by the Number 3, 2012 will be 

represented by the Number 4, etc. (I.E. 1st three digits of 101 would represent a manufacture date of April, 2009, 1st three digits of 412 would 
represent a manufacture date of March, 20012 1st three digits of 001 would represent a manufacture date of April, 2008)

• The Kenwood Warranty is effective for 2-Years for Radios and 1-Year for Kenwood original accessories (including rechargeable 

batteries), measured from the date of purchase by the first End-User.

ProMark 800 Now Demoing at Stakemill Multi-Constellation and Multi-Frequency

Spectra Precision Ashtech ProMark 800

Stakemill has taken delivery of the new Spectra Precision version of Ashtech’s ProMark 800, replacement GNSS Receiver for the Ashtech/Magellan ProMark 500. 

More ProMarks than anyone

What a great way to bring in 2012, the new Spectra ProMark 800 units have a gray body color and the same tried and true accessories that previous ProMark 500 users are familiar with.  We will be dialing into the eGPS network to let this triple frequency and multi constellation unit do what it does best, lock onto satellites. We are excited to see it lock onto satellites in any order and expect its fix time to be the fastest ever. For those users of other brand GNSS Receivers, never again will you have to wait for an L1 solution before unit will start using another constellation.  The new ProMark 800 will track any satellite regardless of constellation and acquire its fix unlike the other brands in no particular order.  Stop in and see first hand the L5 and GALILEO options at work.

Just Arrived - December 30, 2011 - ProMark800

Multi-frequency & multi-constellation GNSS receiverThe ProMark 800 rover and rover/base system, with its 120 channels, offer L1/L2/L5 GPS+GLONASS+GALILEO field-proven technologies for surveying and geodesy. This is a powerful RTK survey solution delivering precise GNSS positioning in a smart, rugged, cable-free and flexible design.

Advanced Z-Blade Technology
The new Z-Blade GNSS Centric technology optimally uses GNSS signals and takes advantage of each GNSS constellation to deliver fast and stable RTK positions, even when GPS coverage is insufficient, like in dense urban canyons or heavy tree canopy. Not like all GNSS receivers which prioritize GPS satellite signals over signals from other constellations, ProMark 800 with Z-Blade is no longer GPS dependent (requiring a minimum of 4 to 5 GPS satellites) to acquire and maintain precise positioning. Z-Blade GNSS Centric algorithm treats equally all available satellite signals and then combines them for optimal performance. 

• Fully independent GNSS satellites tracking and processing
• Fully independent code and phase measurements
• Quick signal detection engines for fast acquisition and re-acquisition of GNSS signals
• Advanced multi-path mitigation
• Use of SBAS and GLONASS ranging signals to strengthen the GPS solution
• Extended solution reliability in urban canyon and under tree canopy

The mix of exceptional RTK performance and compact design makes the ProMark 800 an extremely powerful and appealing RTK solution for demanding professional land surveyors. Waterproof, shock resistant, cable free, light-weight, and with long battery life, the ProMark 800 offers all-day operations in any environmental conditions.

All-in-one Flexibility
ProMark 800 includes extended wireless network communications modules, for maximum mobility and flexibility in the field. An RTC bridge function enables a network-connected ProMark 800 rover to rebroadcast RTK corrections to multiple rovers.

• UHF and GSM/GPRS/3.5G built-in communication modules
• Multiple operating modes and configurations
• Extended support of protocols and data formats

Feature-rich Surveying Solution
ProMark 800 offer includes field and office software as well as data collectors choice to ensure you get a robust, ready-to-use, cable free RTK rover solution.

• FAST Survey field software simplifies data collection and real-time operation.
• GNSS Solutions office software provides powerful support to a wide range of applications.
• Real Time Data Server Software (RTDS) is a software offering land surveying companies the possibility of using GNSS equipment to build their own Direct IP RTK corrections server.

LTI Range Finders

Recently we were presented with four stunning new TruPulse Laser Range Finder color choices.  These new rubberized finishes compliment numerous other GPS and Rugged PC manufacturers along with select hunting patterns. Now the hunters have a reason to buy the LTI’s, as a dual use distance meter, both at work and play.  When I first saw the Orange unit I thought oh boy, my Gators and UM fans will love this, then I saw the Garnet and Gold edition, or more like Maroon and Tan.  Either way my Florida customers will be happy to show their school colors while working, for some reason I have a feeling the Land Surveyors will be Orange with Blue accents and my Utility Contractors will be Garnet & Gold.

Don’t think any features have been removed to add these new color choices, in fact the new 200′s have enhanced firmware options, two-way Bluetooth, upgrade display and more features listed below.  You will love the new feel and look of these TruPulse models, available in 200, 200B, 360 & 360B versions.  Please call or see our website for complete details.
