What he means is that you have your OI radio modem mounted to what appears to be a metal plate. This metal plate is in between the OI modem and the robot, and will interfere with the communication. What he's suggesting is that you mount the modem so that it's above the metal or otherwise unattached to it. The silver antenna on the outside of the modem isn't the only one - there's also one inside the black case which is why just having the external antenna above the metal plate isn't good enough.
