i should make the power the much larger i can but not more than 10mw
and so for the gain , and decrease the E (v/meter)....
Not exactly. When adding a bigger antenna, you will need to decrease
the transmit power to keep the field strength (V/meter) constant.
For example, assume that +12dBm tx power and 0dBm (unity) gain antenna
is the maximum legal. If you replace the unity gain antenna with an
+8dBi gain yagi, you will need to reduce the transmit power down to
+4dBm output to stay withint the maximum field strength requirement.
Note that you can calculate your maximum range if you know the various
numbers.
