## How do I improve the range of my Edison/Explorer Board?

There are two options for improving the range of an Explorer Board. The easiest way is to purchase a "wire whip" antenna to add to your rig. [Here is one available at Mouser (915MHz only)](https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/620-66089-0930?R=66089-0930virtualkey65480000virtualkey620-66089-0930) or for 866/868 MHz [also availabe at Mouser](https://www.mouser.at/ProductDetail/Anaren/66089-0830?qs=pH7abCSN9NPb5X5zwyxl2w==). It physically clips on to your rig. The picture below shows the antenna clipped on and extended from the board; but you can experiment with wrapping the antenna around your rig to fit in your preferred case to see various impacts to the range.
