your figures for the UK are NOT correct The power level here is rated as ERP
It RF at the antenna. ie 400W as applied to the antenna so it may well be
500w at the TX O/P.The same applies to above 1850 where it 32W at the
Antenna, again NOT ERP.

Is it ERP or power to the antenna? I am forever getting stick for my poor command of English, but best I can tell you have said it is based on ERP, then based on power to antenna, then said its not based on ERP.

Unless the GM parliament hasn't had better things to do, I would imagine
you have the same 26 dBW power limit (at the antenna feed point) restriction
that we still enjoy from the colonial times.

And if my non-HP calculator is to be trusted, 26 dBW is more like 398 watts. ;^)
