The FCC rules are actually a bit more complicated than that. Rather than limiting Watt's they limit dBm. This is off the top of my head, but I think 1 watt = 36dBm, which is the legal limit. However, if you were using a 200 mW radio, (23 dBm) you could use up to a 13 dBi antenna (you just add the dB together in this case, equalling 36 dBm) and be at the legal limit. For every 3 dBm increase, output wattage roughly doubles.
So it would be legal to push 1 watt, but you would not be able to use an antenna with any gain whatsoever. Don't take this as gospel, like I said, this is from memory, but that is the gist of it. The rules change slightly based on weather you're doing point to point or point to multi point. -M@ On 4/15/07, Steve Shapery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
