Sorry to be blunt, but it's not worth anything.

Aint no way the regulatory authority inspector can park his vehicle out
on the roadside and make up some story that he can read your transmit
power within a 1-2% accuracy - that's just a total falsehood.  Not even
YOU with a quality in-line power meter can do that accuracy!
