Will a 2.6 db gain give us an output be an effectively 3.8 watts. 2.6 dB = 0.26 B 10 ^ 0.26 = 1.82 1.82 * 2 = 3.64 W Ian, G4ICV, AB2GR, K2 #4962 -- _______________________________________________ Well, I'm too lazy to do the math, but 3 db is a double in power--the scale is logrithmic, so 2.6 db should be damn close to 3.64 watts--certainly close enough to not make a hoot of difference between that and what 3 db would do.
