Re: Radio Boost/Range Extender?

On a similar note, our team 2158 has experienced a drastic reduction in radio range recently for one of the new radios. We were doing a demo in a parking lot and we only had about 30-40 feet of effective distance. That's bad, seeing as we have a 13-foot forklift. We can't really have our signal cut out at full speed.

On our OI board, we have the radio box screwed down underneath the OI controller (on standoffs), and the antenna sticks out from the side. Any problem there?
