You have determined the maximum transmitter power that meets RF exposure and radiated power limits. Where do you verify this power is NOT exceeded?

In Canadian amateur radio regulations, transmitter power limits are specified and measured at the output of the transmitter or, if used, the external amplifier. This point represents the maximum RF energy leaving the active transmitting equipment before it enters passive components like feedlines or tuners. Measuring at the antenna feed point or after an antenna tuner is incorrect because transmission line losses and tuner inefficiencies reduce the measurable power. The regulations strictly limit the raw output power generated by the station's final amplification stage.
