[2024] Yarbo core RTK antenna: Low Mount vs. High Mount

Guide to Using Yarbo's Antenna Mount for Optimal Year-Round Performance

To keep your Yarbo operating at peak performance throughout the year, it's
important to understand which antenna mount is best for different seasons
and situations. Here’s a quick guide on when to use the low and high antenna
mounts, along with the reasons behind each choice and practical scenarios.

Summer: Use the Low Antenna Mount

When to Use

In the summer, your yard may be full of lush vegetation like shrubs, flowers,
and other obstacles, such as trampolines or low-hanging branches. During this
time, the low antenna mount is the optimal choice.

Scenario

Imagine Yarbo navigating your yard, trimming the grass, or edging around flower
beds. The low mount keeps the antenna closer to the ground, which reduces the
chances of snagging on low branches or getting tangled in dense vegetation. This
allows Yarbo to move smoothly through tight spaces without interruptions.

Reasoning

The low antenna mount keeps Yarbo's height minimal, allowing it to efficiently
navigate around plants and yard decorations while maintaining a strong signal. By
lowering the antenna, you reduce the risk of interference from summer foliage,
enabling smooth operation.

Winter: Use the High Antenna Mount

When to Use

Winter presents unique challenges, especially due to snow accumulation. Snow
can easily block a low-mounted antenna, which impacts Yarbo’s signal reception.
To address this, use the high antenna mount during snowy conditions.

Scenario

Picture a snowy day with Yarbo working to clear the snow. With the high mount,
the antenna stays above the accumulating snow, ensuring Yarbo maintains a clear
signal even when the ground is covered.

Reasoning

The high mount lifts the antenna above the snow, keeping the signal strong and
unobstructed. This setup ensures Yarbo performs effectively during winter tasks
like snow removal, without interference from snow buildup.

Quick Guide to Choosing Your Antenna Mount

Low Mount: Use during summer or in environments with dense, low-lying
vegetation or obstacles. This mount helps Yarbo avoid getting caught on branches
and improves maneuverability around plants and garden decorations.

High Mount: Use during winter when snow is present. The high mount keeps the
antenna above the snow, ensuring consistent signal reception and optimal perfor
-mance in snowy conditions.
