Lilygo Pager Amp Backpack

### More Power for your Lilygo Pager!

If you have a Lilygo Pager, you can increase the power by combining the AirBuddy amp, a second battery, and an Adafruit charge controller. Be aware of local regulations before using this if you build it!

The instructions attached (pdf) walk through how to connect components (at your own risk) and flash the device with new firmware.

The existing flip-up antenna is replaced with pretty much any antenna you want that can handle 1+ watts (read your antenna's specs first).

Note: You will be disconnecting the existing coil antenna, so think twice whether you want to do that. You will also be adding a second power switch, which only control amp power. Don't run the amp without an antenna connected
