Further to IGSSTATION Mails 4456, 4473 & 4519, the CAGS Ashtech Z12 
receiver was replaced with the following Trimble NetR8 on Day 230 
(2011-08-18).

3.4  Receiver Type            : TRIMBLE NETR8
      Satellite System         : GPS+GLONASS
      Serial Number            : 4931K62886
      Firmware Version         : 4.17
      Elevation Cutoff Setting : 0 deg
      Date Installed           : 2011-08-18T17:55Z
      Date Removed             : (CCYY-MM-DDThh:mmZ)
      Temperature Stabiliz.    : None
      Additional Information   :

An updated site log has be sent to the IGS Central Bureau and the 
backlog of data will be posted to the IGS data archives.

The tracking problem noted in IGSSTATION Mail 45219 was traced to low 
signal strength on the antenna cable. Fortunately, we have been able 
to get good data using the NetR8 with the signal amplifier in an 
antenna splitter. We plan to replace the buried 67 m cable in the 
next couple of weeks.
