Status: offline 		Maybe the simplest way to increase depth (radio wise) is to use a towed sonar array as the receiving antenna? Maybe a small float on the end of it to keep it from dangling into the prop(s)? Hmm, sort of defeats the purpose, kind'a, or at least makes reversing sort of exciting? Think of it this way. It's just another means of sinking one of them 'target' boats, right? Snarl the array up in their props and drag'em under!
