[MLB-WIRELESS] amps

[paul van den bergen]

Actually, rik, even then, a better solution is to drop the power and increase 
the efficiency of the antenna. (length of cable aside)

The only time I can see an amp being useful is if you have the best antenna 
you can afford already, running at the max output of the card and you are 
still below the legal output.  You will not gain any bandwidth (S2N stays the 
same) but you will gain distance... (maybe?  I suppose it depends on why the 
link failure occurs.  maybe you will drop bandwidth to gain distance?)

Anyhoo, in regular use, appropriate antenna choice is definitely better.
