[AFMUG] How to count amplifiers in link budget

[Adam Moffett]

I'm looking at an IoT application where we're allowed 30W ERP.  The 
transmitter is 5W, so even with antenna gain I have room to amplify that.

How do you count an amplifier in your link budget?  Just add the amp's 
tx gain and subtract connectors, or is there more to it than that?

Strangely I've never used an amplifier.....I've never had a legal 
application for one before.
