What are the Tx values in Mikrotik equal to? for example what does the value 1 mean?
AFAIK, the power is in dBm. see the example below; I hope this information is helpful. My apologies if I didn’t understand your question.
The output is for a R52:

yes, it is in dBm, but i suggest to leave this setting to default as the card will run at the power that is written in it’s EEPROM (the manufacturers recommended value). use it only to lower the power, not to increase it, as overheating will reduce the performance.
IIRC, the default value chosen by RouterOS 2.9.30 for the R52 is 20, vs. the 19 dBm quoted on the data sheet for the R52, correct?
