Is it the same as a potentiometer? That actually sounds like some good sane advice. What do you think about the resistor shorting? Do you think that resistors can be used to limit the signal? My electronics skills are very basic. I'll do it sometime today anyways, and I'll let everyone know if it worked. But what about another idea?

What about adding extra batteries to the controllers? I don't think it would work, because it would most likely burn something out. But it is a thought swimming around in my head. How do I know if the circuit could take more volts and current? Is there a way to figure this out?

Also, one last thought that's been swimming. This is probably going to be considered pretty stupid, but it comes from my limited electronics knowledge. If the signal needs more power, then how would strapping a battery on the antenna work? I would put the positive on one end of the antenna and the negative on the other end. electrons take the path of least resistance, so I wouldn't think that the current would go back into the controller, but I'm not sure if the signal needs more current. An example of this would be an iron for ironning clothes. That's nothing more then current going through metal. I would use alot less power, so it wouldn't heat the antenna up (hopefully), but would it actually assist the signal transmited?
