Actually their specs say that the power input can go between 5 to
20 dBm and the gain is 14 dB. That says to me that the booster
will do anywhere from 19 to 34 dBm power out. Although the FCC
equipment certification data shows that it does only 146.6 mW
(21.66dBm). You can see this at:
https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/forms/blobs/retrieve.cgi?attachment_id=292345&native_or_pdf=pdf
I expect that this device does 14 dB of gain only up to 6 mW (7.66
dBm) of input power and tops out at 146.6 mW.

A bit simplistic as antenna gain plays a factor here. Your transmitter
can do up to 30dBm (1watt) and your antenna gain can be 6 dBi.
Hence this equates to 36 dBm EIRP. As you increase the gain of
your antenna (for multipoint operations) you need to drop the
transmitter power output (TPO).
