   * **Antenna Height (AGL)**: Height of the antenna above ground level. If your antenna is mounted on a tower or building, this should reflect that height.   * **Antenna Height (AGL)**: Height of the antenna above ground level. If your antenna is mounted on a tower or building, this should reflect that height.
   * **Output Power (watts)**: Power output from the transmitter.   * **Output Power (watts)**: Power output from the transmitter.
-  * **ERP at Antenna (watts)**: Effective Radiated Power taking into account antenna gain and feedline loss. If this is entered, Output Power is ignored. +  * **EIRP at Antenna (watts)**: Effective Isotropically Radiated Power taking into account antenna gain and feedline loss. If this is entered, Output Power is ignored. 
-  * **Gain (dB)**: Antenna gain in dB. Only used if Output Power is present. Ignored if ERP is present.+  * **Gain (dBi)**: Antenna gain in dBi. Only used if Output Power is present. Ignored if EIRP is present.
   * **Pattern**: Currently unused, but may support directional prediction in the future.   * **Pattern**: Currently unused, but may support directional prediction in the future.
