Leonard Knutson Superintendent of MUKILTEO with Jarvis Frederick Project Manager and installation guru of the WINOPS Dredge Positioning System aboard MULKILTEO on a fine September day in Puget Sound. Jarvis has taken the bull by the horns with the installation of 3 DGPS Starlink DNAV212G receivers (1 on boom tip for Bucket Pos, 2 & 3 on derrick for heading calculation). Mr. Frederick selected the VGA booster mechanism CAT5 video splitter from Black Box due to the size and expence of the cable run consisting of 5 solid conductor cable. This combined with bright flat screen displays makes for an excellent installation.
