First the 4700 will work as a Base, and it will transmit you a signal but only what it is designed to which is L1,L2. basic GPS Hopefully your projects want be downtown, around buildings etc. where you will need Glonass as part of your RTK solution to be productive. If most of your daily projects are within the radius of the VRS, and only 10% or 15% falls outside the area. You could purchase 3 receivers, which could all be potential Rovers, then when you need a Base, configure one to be base and hook up a base radio, and you'll save on that fourth receiver. Comes down to where those 10% projects usually fall, and how bad do you need Glonass data.
As for radios, you are probably using Pacific Crest with Trimble 450s labeled and painted yellow, and the radios you have will transmit the signal, but the new radios have more features, and will work with the 4700 or the R10.
If I can help let me know

Thanks for the reply. I'm only looking for one complete gps system since I'm a one man operation anymore. I think I confused the issue when I said, "2 systems" when I meant 2 GPS stations. Anyways, much of my work is in rural Nebraska where I have cell reception but in rural Nebraska there are some areas that I won't get reception and thus not on the VRS. I'm think about getting some kind of a booster to help with that and maybe it would cut down my no reception areas to a minimum. I just don't want to have to buy a R10 and maybe a R8 Model 3 as base if I don't have too. I currently have Trimmark IIe radios.... so yes I've got old stuff. LOL That's why I would upgrade the base radio as well....just wanted to make sure the 4700 would work with R10 and new radio.
there may be someone to help you directly inside the Trimble Support Group if you drop a comment there pointing to this discussion you may see some immediate activity..
