i have a pcimax3000+ 1w version i would like to get a bit more power out of it like maybe 1.5w i dont need a full 3w or even a 15w booster as i need about 500 more ft of space covered
i see it say the 3w can do 4w
RF output power: up to about 4W (3W model), depending on the model
but my 1w wont go over 1w like i said i do not need a lot more is there any hack or anything i can do to get a bit more power

What kind of antenna are you using?
By using a cheap dipole mounted on a good spot you'll probably double or more your range.

I got a crap ground plane that I got as a gift with a Ramsey fm transmitter kit
I was looking at the cirular dipole

For best range look at the log-periodic, such as 0205. Of course it is not not omni-directional. But range improvement is huge.

This one is cheap and a bit better than GP:

You can use 2 with a combiner:
750W 2-way coaxial splitter (3xN connectors)
