Note also the change as to where the transmit power is measured:
- - -
2.Entry Categories: ... ... Transmit power level is measured at the
output of the final stage of amplification.
- - -
In the past, many stations used higher power amplifiers and less
expensive lossy transmission line ( and usually a LNA at the top of the
tower ) and measured their transmit power level at the antenna.
Under the new rules that is no longer allowed. What comes out of the
rig/amp now determines your power classification.
