62	62	The GPS antenna is at the top and center of the unit, and will (usually) only receive signal with a clear sky view directly above. The signal is able to penetrate plastic and terracotta planters and a thin layer of soil, but may struggle if the soil layer is too thick. **These nodes will not start recording without attaining a GPS lock** and repeated attempts will excessively drain the battery.
