RFID Reader Range Boost

I'm trying to build a project using the RFID reader available on parallax, but the operating range is only 4 inches. Is there a way to extend this range, perhaps by using an external antenna?

Thank you

    Hello,

    ·· Due to the nature of the antenna (How it works) you would not be able to easily increase the range of the device.· If you had enough technical knowledge on these systems it might be possible, but would require some precise engineering to do so.
