I've always thought of this as rather ugly.  There is a mixture of different concepts here.

The base gain setting (64..66 dB) is a property of the SDR hardware, as recommended by the hardware manufacturer in order to reach the maximum possible output level without going into saturation.  This "maximum clean transmit output power" is called "nominal transmit power".

The NM_ATT_RF_MAXPOWR_R is a 3GPP specified value which is operator configuration as to how manyy steps of 2dB the BTS should transmit *below* that nominal value.

So the correct processing is to always use both, and subtract them.

Default: Use 64..66 dBm value as base line, and substact the NM_ATT_RF_MAXPWR_R
User override: specify a lower/higher base gain value instead of 64..66.
