Antenna, Amp, Orinoco, and phone question.

Greetings All,
I've had fo some time an Orinoco Wave Lan II Access point in my home and have now decided I need better range. I haven't started Stumbling around town yet but I know The university of Kentucky has a system and it has decent coverage. However, I'm looking at increasing the range of my system.

I like Fab-Corps products and am now happy about possible discounts, after joining Netstumbler.
Here's my question(s).

1. By going with the 15 dB omni amp on their site, and the 1 Watt smart amp, as well as the 5 dB mag mount antenna for the car and the portable, and using my Orinoco Silver cards, both in the AP and the laptop What kind of range are we looking at. Anyone used this setup?

2. Monitoring my AP I have noticed a high number of errors On the AP from the wireless side, even when I don't have any of my wireless cards running on any other device. I do however have a Siemens 2.4Ghz phone system with multiple remote phones. Could this system be confusing the AP because it throws out rotating frequencys on a regular basis? Any Clues?

Thanks and I can see this is going to be fun. :-)
Joe.
