22 dBm transmit power with a 23 dBi integrated antenna == 45 dBm EIRP RX sensitivity, adaptive = –93 dBm. To me that would be a system gain of only 138 dB. Oh, but you have to add the RX antenna, so another 23 dBi and you get 158 dB.
There ya have it.

(system gain) The rest is a free space path loss formula run backwards.
