Seems like I have a new project for the weekend.

>
> Just got one transmitter modified with an antenna. The outdoor range
> is now a SOLID 100 meters. That's with a 5.6 inch wire sticking
> straight up out of the front-right corner of the pc board. If I bend
> it over (like a paper clip) so the end almost touches the top of the
> unit, the range is about 75 meters but somewhat directional.
>
> This experiment is successful enough that I'm modifying a second unit
> right now--just waiting for the soldering iron to get hot again.
>
> I am using 14 guage solid copper wire.
>
> To say that this is an improvement is a huge understatement. I'll
> leave one transmitter alone, just in case I have a unit failure under
> warranty.
