  • Aluminium is conductive enough to be used as an antenna, shirley? Crabon may not need an antenna - Assuming it doesn't act as a faraday cage (cos it's plastic), nor attenuates a GPS signal too much.

    I'm also guessing that the sheer size of the frame (comparative to a GPS receiver antenna in, say a watch, or a GSM antenna I a phone) means that the shape is irrelevant.

    Bamboo bikes should be burned, not stolen.

  • ah but thats not how it works. You need an antenna, you can't just bolt it to the frame and hope for the best.

    Otherwise cars wouldn't have radio antennas at all, they'd just bolt straight to the chassis/body.
