I think the default changed along with one of the hardware revisions--maybe that the GS model boosted it. Don't remember exactly if/when it changed, but I believe it went from 22mw to 28mw.
I've got mine set on a cron job so that from 8am to 11am, the radio runs at 200mw and otherwise, drops down to 40mw. This gives me a nice place to keep my coffee warm. Shane O. BTW - Just kidding about the cron job coffee heater. I'm not interested in a lecture on coffee-heater feasibility from someone that know a lot more about thermodynamics than I do--and that's probably most of you.
