<---Doesn't matter, IMHO. Db is Db. For all practical purposes, a 3 Db increase is still 3 Db, regardless if it's from 50 to 100 watts or 100 to 200 watts. But since we're looking at "other ways of looking at things", assume a loss 50 Db getting a signal into the building. 3 Db more on the xmtr side still means a 47 Db loss. I really don't see where 3 more Db is going to help....
