Transmitters of this sort often have a short antenna (and even resistive
padding ahead of the antenna) to limit the output.
Lengthening the antenna might provide a stronger signal, but there's no
guarantee. You need to calculate the length (half- or quarter-wave) for t=
hat
channel.
It's output is currently UHF ch.34 (I'm in Europe),antenna length is
no more than 2 feet extended, if that.

Optimum 1/4 wavelength antenna is 4.7 inches at 580 Mhz.
In any case the antenna should not be more than twice that long.
