I think you blew that one OM. Too much tequila down in XE land perhaps?
The square root of 5 is 2.2236 volts, not sure where you got 0.707, that
would be square root of 0.5. Kevin was right.
Or, to make it even simpler without having to do any real math, +20 dBm is
20 db greater than 0 dBm. 20 dB more than 0.2236 volts is, obviously, 2.236
volts.
