>From my copy of the ARRL FCC Rules and Regulations for the Amateur
Radio Service, parts 97 and 47 of the Cod of Federal Regulations,
2007:

97.317 Standards for certification of external RF power amplifiers
(a) To receive a grant of certification, the amplifier must:

(2) Not be capable of amplifying the input RF power (driving signal)
by more than 15 dB gain. Gain is defined as the ratio of the input RF
power to the output RF power of the amplifier where both power
measurements are expressed in peak envelope power or mean power.
