Although I've used wireless system for many years, I still will make a
wired system first choice mostly for other reasons than have been
discussed here.

Increasing the power output would infringe an FCC limitation on this
type of equipment. Usually the upgrade is in the sensitivity of the
receivers. But, of course this has it's disadvantages also.

Keep us posted.
