The 0.5 W and + 10 dBm numbers in the specs don't work out. +10 dBm is 10 mW. I suspect that the 1/2 watt is really the DC input power.
Now, that makes sense.
And, I'd agree about the range. +10 dBm into a dipole at 10 meters gets you about -44 dBm at the receiver antenna in a free-space model. That's really loud compared to the nominal -130 to -140 dBm you'd hear from the satellites.
Indeed. Even for 10 mW it was not reasonable. No wonders that "1-10 m jammers" cause such grief to DHS. Serious overkill.
