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!

How far of a range do you want? The FRC radios have a pretty decent range for normal use. What kind of application are you thinking of?

I'm not trying to discourage you, but I can't think of anything offhand. I'm also curious as to why the extension is needed.
