To convert between ERP and EIRP, add 2,15 dB, as a dipole antenna has a gain of 2,15 dBi. For example, to convert the European Power output of 2 W ERP (which is +33 dBm) to EIRP, add 2,15 dB to get +35,15 dBm, which is very close to the FCC limit of 4 W EIRP (+36 dBm). 1, record 1, English, - effective%20radiated%20power
