But that's still only a fraction of 1 dB gain in signal - not detectable on most S-meters.
RF power is one place where more yields diminishing results. The increased signal at a receiver when going from 10W to 100 watts output is exactly the same as the difference between 100 and 1000 watts, but that extra 900 watts costs a lot more to produce than the 90 watts.
