Hi,
If you check very very carefully, there is a small
rectangular label in the back of the unit. It is almost
undecernable, but it can be peeled off, thus exposing three screw
holes. The one closes to the edge is the one you need. You'll need
a jeweler's screwdriver, or, at least a very small one. Turn the
screw clockwise as far as it will go. Replace the label and you've
boosted your output. Not sure about the legality. In my case, it
makes the signal reach my driveway, but not beyond. Even full blast
I cant't get more than a hundred feet! Hth.
