Telemetry aerial

I need to work out the best mounting for my RCP. One consideration is the telemetry aerial—how important is it that the aerial is vertical? There are only certain RCP orientations where it can be vertical, are these the only ones that I should seriously consider?

Thanks,

Yes, it should be vertical. If you want, you can get a GSM remote/roof mount antenna and position it where you'd like.

If you do, please share a pic of the install!

Thanks Brent,

I should be able to mount it easily enough with the aerial vertical. The current plan is to mount the RCP on the backside of the dashboard (nicely central—just over my knees

And there should be enough room. We just need to fabricate a "wedge" to make sure that it's properly vertical...

Cheers!
