Well Lets see, 4 Watts = +6.02 dBw, plus 5.0 dB of Gain in the antenna for +11.02, minus coax loss, lets guestimate 1.5 dB and connector / adaptor loss of 0.5 dB would put you at +9.02 dBw, or 7.98 Watts ERP - just shy of 8 Watts. Since you are using a simplexor there is no duplexer loss. If you want to be really tricky use split tones, one encode and a different decode and folks won't hear the initial call if they use decode on their radios.
