Regarding materials there we have measured that absolutely any material has an influence on the GNSS signal. If it is metallic, it has of course bigger effect. Closer to the module, the bigger is impact.
So a thicker and wider parts are always bad. But plastic parts have just very minor influence on everything.

Regarding the rod I think that it does not pose a problem.

Hello,

It will be all available on our web page as soon as we will release new version.
