Starnet Converter 1.0.1 (DBX files not visible)

I use this starnet converter (1.0.1) 2007 because I need average of multiple sets. The newer Leica converters averages individual sets. I am having a problem where the dbx files to be converted are not visibile to select from in the box below. I have tried a bunch of different things to fix this. I believe it to be an IT permissions issue but so far I have been unable to solve the problem. has anyone else run into this problem?

Quiz for Surveyors New to the Field

Rob Migliore‎ shared this with us.... let's see how well you do...

I sometimes give an easy quiz to potential field and CAD people during their interview, just to get an understanding of their experience.
I wonder how many of you can answer these questions:
What does it mean to “Buck In” or “Trick In”?
What is the standard temperature correction for a steel tape?
What is “Double Centering”?
What does it mean to “Kick a Leg”?
What does the anagram “SOHCAHTOA” stand for?
How many hundredths of a foot are in an inch?
What is the difference between a Lenker Rod and a Philly Rod?
What is the difference between a PC and a PT?
What does it mean to “Boot the Rod”
What does it mean to “Raise for Red”?
How many feet are in a “Rod”?
What does RTK stand for
What does it mean to “Plunge the Scope”?

Define the following
1. Grantee
2. NAVD
3. Grantor
4. Parrallax
5. Mere Stone
6. Magnetic Declination
7. GPS

Leica 1100 series

Hey guys,

Over the years, I have accumulated a couple of Leica 1100 series instruments that have broken down in various ways. Rather than throw them out or sell them for parts, I have tried "mixing and matching" boards from those various instruments. Unfortunately, each instrument simply "doesn't see" the board from another instrument. Strangely, it seems to only happen with the numbered boards. I'm guessing there is something in the mainboard that says "Nope. You have the wrong number. I'm not allowed to talk to you."

Are there any gurus out there that have experience with this? Or a workaround? My local dealer refuses to open 1100s anymore, so I am on my own here.

It's not the end of the world, I just don't see why I should throw this stuff out.

Thanks,

Mick.
