Question Radio Boost/Range Extender?

Hey CD Forum!

I have a question about the FIRST radios supplied in out kit. Our team wants to be able to control our robot [on the off season, not at competitions] from a far greater distance than we currently can with our radio connection.

In this scenario, limitless tether cables won't do the job. So, I was wondering if anyone had found -- or could find -- a rather simple modification of the the FIRST supplied radios to extend its range.

We want to be able to control the robot on a playing field from the top of the bleachers.

Our team also has some of the older radios to work with, so the answer doesn't need to specifically deal with the revised radios.

Thanks for all of you help and comments!
