I am ready to purchase a PCI Max 2006+ for my PC but am unsure weather to get the 350mw version or the 1 watt version. Does the 1 watt come with the small antenna? I would like to broadcast through my apartment and yard (3/4 acre). I am willing to spend the extra money if it would be worth it in the long term.

I would really rather not have to spend extra money on a power supply and large antenna anytime soon. But I also saw something about using too small an antenna could harm the 1watt unit... Is that true?

Does the 1 watt unit come with the small antenna?

Any help or recommendations would be great.

Both come with the small wire antenna. However there's a small antenna here that you might want so you get better output. If you really want 1 watt then you'll want to add an external power supply to the transmitter as I don't think the computer's power is enough.
