Summary: Need some more antenna power


	I am a member of a club which uses Radio Shack headset walkie-talkies.
We are having a problem with the range of these units, so I replaced the
antenna with a longer, common wire which runs through several rooms.  Now,
the problem is that this decreased the antenna gain, so now I need to boost
the power output of the radio.  I assume that the radio was at the 100mw
FCC limit (47 MHz), but since the antenna is now less eficient, boosting
should be possible.
	So, what I am interested in is a small 9Vdc circut to boost the
radiated antenna power.  Thanks.
