I have never seen what the actual maximum ERP's are for the various 
bands. I see lots of 1000KW ERP on UHF channels, but the VHF operations 
seem to be all different power levels. Presumably, there is a maximum 
power level for low and high band VHF, just as there was for analog. I'm 
sure someone has this information.
