Yeah but how powerful is the signal...? Aren't there optional antennas that are a little more powerful? I come from a family of Ham Radio operators :p I don't want to do any soldering -- I just want to be very happy from 6 blocks

See I just did a google search and this guy has built a tin can antenna for $5... http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/cantennahowto.html

but building antennas can be an artform -- I don't want to go overkill tho... I'd just like to know if there's anyone on GFY that is doing this already...
