That's right. But there's a catch. If you raise the power, you may violate the FCC regs on the frequency envelope your card needs to radiate within. It all depends on how good a job your manufacturer did when they built the card, the antenna they used, etc. : I'd be very interested in this ability, anyone have any ideas on how it : would be accomplished?
