Station power via cat would not be accurate.
I run the radio at 100 watts all the time and use the Pwr slider to keep it
between 5 and 10 watts so reading from cat would give the wrong result, I know
I am not the only op that works this way.

Subject: [wsjt-devel] Another Suggestion for 3 Extra Bits in FT8
I was thinking since you could gain a lot of useful propagation information
from JT-Mode QSOs, what if we included some info to help further define the
parameters involved in the contact. You can't fit much in 3 bits, but what
about some sort of "Station Type Identifier" like this:
3 Bits APP
Antenna Type
0PP = Omnidirectional (Vert, Dipole)
1PP = Directional (Yagi, Log)
Station Power (as entered or possibly queried by CAT)
A00 = 0-10 Watts
A01 = 11-25 Watts
A10 = 26-50 Watts
A11 = 50+ Watts
