The Volkslogger manual states that 'During installation,
assure that the integral antenna has a clear view of
the sky and is not shielded by metal or carbon fiber
parts.' (there is no similar comment in the Colibri
version 3.0 manual.)


Carbon is "radio opaque" which means it doesnt allow thru
transmission of rf waves. Fiberglass is "radio clear".
Basically, don't put the antenna in the "shadow" of the
carbon components when viewed in the line of sight.\
