No, nitrogen's math is correct. The conversion from linear to dB is y = 10 * log(x) and the conversion back is x = 10 ^ (y/10) Every change of 3dB is a dou

No, nitrogen's math is correct. The conversion from linear to dB is y = 10 * log(x) and the conversion back is x = 10 ^ (y/10) Every change of 3dB is a doubling or halving of power. Every change of 10dB is an order-of-magnitude change in power.

Right, I did 24-13 instead of 240-130. That's 100 billion times the power.
