 Please note that the Ashtech time transfer Z12T Metronome option
 continues to be available only using the older Z12 technology and is
 therefore more expensive.  According to Robert, the new 2001 price for
 the Z12T Metronome is $24,000, plus $5,000 for the choke ring antenna
 (if required).  This new price is about $10k less than the 2000 price.

 Robert also said that Ashtech's next generation receiver with time
 transfer capability is not expected until 2002.

 IGS Reference Station Offer

 Dear  Jim,

 Magellan is offering a special price to our IGS colleagues in 2001 for our
new Ashtech mZ CGRS (Continuous Geodetic Reference Station). Please see the
data sheet   for this
receiver on our web site  . 

Now you can buy a new mZ CGRS receiver with 16 MB memory, power supply, and
modem cable for only $7,960. The receiver will usually work with existing
choke ring antennas from other manufacturers, but you can add an Ashtech
choke ring antenna for $3,300. Larger memory configurations are also
available (32 MB and 85 MB). 

 Please contact me if you are interested in taking advantage of this offer.
