Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most likely cause of this issue is that you have installed higher-grade cabling.
Key Takeaway: The Effective Isotropic Radiated Power, or EIRP, is the apparent power transmitted towards the receiver if the signal is radiated equally in all directions as a spherical wave emanating from a point source. If you have installed a higher-grade cable that is rated for lesser loss per 100 feet, it could exceed power output regulations.
