Your saying that you took a 90 watt amp and "modified" it to 450 watts? This does not sound believable.......
The amp you have is possibly a B band analog amp. 90 watts may have been used at the cell site to overcome the combining losses that are involved in putting multiple transmitters on a single cellular antenna. The ERP would probably have still been around 100 watts. You have to have a balance between the cell site transmit power and the cellphone transmit power to make the system work. The paging industry used ERP upwards to 2KW or more to talk to a pager, but that was usually a one-way transmission.
