> FCC Regulations mean you can transmit at a max of 300mW only

Is that new? When I was originally playing with dd-wrt I was under the impression that 100 was the limit, discovered my AP was defaulting to something like 70mW, and would allow you to go higher.

You might be right. My memory is from several years ago when I was working with some possibly dubious long range outdoor radios.

The funny thing is that they don't seem to care about the directionality of the signal. You fire 120mW in a sphere and they have opinions. Narrow 100mW down to a (double) cone or a disc? No problemo.

Makes no goddamned sense to me.
