Lars Poulsen asked how a 3 watt transmitter could put out 4 watts ERP
(Effective Radiated Power).  4 watts ERP would result when the
transmitter is connected to an antenna with an overall gain of 12.5 db.

Broadcast stations are also regulated like this.  If they are allowed
50,000 watts ERP, they may have 12.5 KW into a 6 db gain antenna
system.
