Anyone who has tried to work a station who doesn't hear well because of 
a high noise level, or with a poor signal path, knows that even 1 or 2 
dB can be the difference between making a QSO or not. I have experienced 
this MANY times. On 160M, the band is often full from 1,800 to above 
1,900 kHz during contests, and most amps need to be re-tuned to get full 
output when moving from one end to the other. If I got lazy and failed 
to do that, my 1.5 kW amp might be down to 1 kW or so, That's less than 
2dB, but there have been times when re-tuning would get the other 
station to hear me when he hadn't responded to multiple calls.
