[MLB-WIRELESS] Wireless amp

[Liam Devanny]

When calculating power output and dealing with Watts and dB use this 
formula: P(dB) = 10log(W) where W is the power in mW. This will solve 
any confusion regarding the two sets of units. The actual power output 
at the antenna would be: 199526.23 mW or 199.5 Watts
