My Harmony Home Hub is in my audio rack about 60 ft from the viewing area which is too far for the RF signal from the remote. I could move the hub closer, but then I would have to break a bunch of drywall to run longer cables from the hub to the rack. Is it possible to extend the rf range of the hub by soldering on an antenna? This hack does it with a car remote (understand it's a transmitter but it seems to me this should work for a receiver as well?):

While this pages shows the internals of the hub: https://novemberfive.co/blog/hardware-teardown-logitech-harmony-hub/

Would soldering a wire on to the existing RF antenna (showing in yellow box) extend the receivers range and if yes how long a wire would i need?

Thanks in advance,

Tom
