Setting Tx or Rx gain to some dBi

Dear All,

I am setting up a LimeSDR mini and during the run there are following messages:
Setting Tx gain to X value
Setting Rx gain to Y value
So what does this mean ?

Also is there any software / driver that once you run LimeSDR it tell you to what output power limeSDR is working? What power it emits into the air?

Thanks

It means that transmit and receive gains are being set, according to whatever the software you are running has requested.

Not really. The transmit power will depend upon the Tx gain and frequency that are configured. The output will not remain constant as frequency changes.

There are some community contributed measurements here:
