6db is for voltage and current NOT for power .... do the research


Ok so I mixed db and dbi, point for you. Now tell me that 1000W is
"almost" indistinguishable at the recieving end from 10W - and S-units
are a valid comparison standard...


I won't tell you that they are almost indistinguishable. But I will say
that S-units should be a valid comparison standard, at least with military
gear that _is_ calibrated in 6 dB increments.
