OK, our TPO is 470 watts and we have a 500-watt transmitter.  So far, so good.  It could easily do the 517 watts or so to make up for the combiner loss.  But, to get 47 watts of digital carrier, it looks like we would need a 500-watt digital transmitter, combiner and a 500-watt RF line termination.  That's probably close enough to start working up a rough cost estimate.
