Default Measuring the fieldstrenght nearby is not reliable.

Exactly right. Power in the near field is largely reactive. To determine
radiated power you measure the in-phase volt-amperes with a wattmeter.
The multimeter on the hood maximizes output same as a Bird wattmeter for
practical results, but you hanen`t quantified watts out.
