Anybody knows how to increase the walkie talkie range? - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

Hi, I have bought a pair of talkies and I want to increase its power for longer range. It's range is just 50 meters. I want to increase the range. What should I do?

This is a toy category, very primitive and cheap. Buy another, the modification expensive and hard.

Well you could always get a really huge antenna for broadcasting, like unscrew the case, and take out the antenna, solder a piece of copper wire to where the antenna was, and the other side to say, a light pole, or a satellite dish, or a car, or anything that is really really big, and made of metal, perhaps piggy backing on a cell phone tower would work.

I myself decided the best antenna is actually a cars frame, since it's metal, a conductor, and big, which is why the bottom of a car makes a good place for placing bugs, and other kinds of transmitters.

A shopping trolley would be a good one - at least it will remain portable!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Aiight, well, in all seriousness, I need a bit of info from you first.

A. Your age
B. Your average height, and if you can be more specific your torso height
C. How much you can carry on your shoulders for a comfortable amount of time, I can carry 50 lbs for an indefinate amount of time but that's because I have a lot of back/leg strength working in retail/stocking (I can convert to pounds if you live out of US)

Because if possible I could get you the general idea of how to make a battlefield long range artillery/air strike radio, the principal is a backpack mounted antenna that has enough conductor space for an antenna booster and a large enough antenna to broadcast roughly one mile in proper conditions (which usually aren't present in a battlefield, but it still works)

I can't garauntee that it'll work because if you're running off a cheap walkie talkie it may not have to power to use the antenna efficiently.
