I just don't seem to be getting very good range with the stock radios, and I would like to try longer antenna.  I know/think that they currently have 2dbi antenna, so must I look for something with the same dbi?  I'm just looking for a cheap'ish, off the shelf solution. I have the 3DR 915mhz radios, with the ground station plugged into a Nexus 7 tablet.  Connects to Iris+.

Would using a laptop as the ground station boost the ground station radio power at all?

A link, or any other info that would help me pick my own, would be highly appreciated.

Also,  does anyone know where to get a cable that comes with the 3DR radios?  I'm not totally sure what it's called.  The one with the blue end :p I've seen the term OTG, but this doesn't look like what I find on Amazon/E bay.
