Re: Radio Reception?
Unless you build something like a cylinder or whatnot around your modem, i wouldn't worry about placement too terribly much.
Some general advice:
*Polarize both antenae the same: IE if the modem attached to the OI is mounted horizontally, mount the one on the robot horizontally. Or mount them both vertically.
*if possible mount the modem in an area without too much metal.
*generally the higher the better, but make sure its not going to get hurt
*DO NOT mount the the modem so that the antenna is surrounded by sheet metal. You don't want to make a faraday cage.
