I read that these antennas might work better (see attached photo). I got three of them, put two on the yarbo core, I noticed better/more consistent signal. I intended to put the third one on the data center. However, the hole on the stabilizing bar is not big enough to accomodate this type of antenna. Is it just a bad idea to try to put this new antenna on the data center?
Yes, it’s a good idea but you will need an adapter and rubber/foam gasket to make it work. Yarbo used to have a kit for colder weather that would work. I don’t see it on the dealers website any longer that I used to point people to. I reached out to him to see if he can still get it or stock it. If not, support might be able to get it for you. In the interim if you wanted to try it, you could just remove the stabilizer bar.
Thanks.
Question: If I need to ask Support about this, I don’t know how to word what I’d be asking them for. Can you help, can you provide suggested text so they would know exactly everything I’m asking for?
You can refer to this video for reference and to share with support. I checked with the dealer and he is unable to get them at the moment.
Thanks again.
Just so I understand: Are the adapters shown in that video extra long enough so that the stabilizing bar will work with the “fatter” antenna I am hoping to install? In other words: What is shown in that video is not the standard parts already on my data center?
They are not standard. This is a kit for extreme cold weather that causes the pins to shrink and make poor contact with the standard parts. Basically what you need is these two parts. At that point you can put the stabilizer bar over the rubber washer and the antenna would screw down on top of that. It would not be able to slip over the antenna like the video shows, so the bar would have to be installed first. If they send you the whole kit, you wouldn’t need to install the other adapters unless you wanted to but you’d have to use the supplied stabilizer bar in the kit if you do. Otherwise, you could use the original bar if you just extend the RTK antenna connection.
Similar to what it would look like when installed.
Yep. Not a fan of the stabilizer bar either. The clip works fine for me. They need one on the bluetooth antenna too.
Yeah I need to figure out a new solution after putting the HA antenna on. My HaLow antenna is always wonky without the bar.
I put one on the DC. I think it works better. @goodstuff9
My antennae are on their way. I similarly ordered three to see if I could tame GPS dropouts. I guess I’ll have the same issue with fit. Time to break out a pack of zip ties? 
Is that clip Yarbo version 1.0?
Ordered 2023, delivered Feb 2024
Did you get the 23 S1 and universal body or did you add the S1 later with the 24 upgrade?
Was 2024 all the way through, M1 and S1. Was part of that batch that didn’t like freezing water on the power board’s epoxy.
Ok, so you weren’t a 23 kickstarter backer but a 24 preorder
Just curious: How does this kit improve anything during cold weather?
If the metal shrinks enough where signal is poor from a less than stellar connection. Basically longer pins and threads.
