Your interpertation of the Part 15 rules are correct. Actually, the PtP rules apply which allow you up to 47dBm ERP.

However, what is your computed ERP? Most dishes in that size work out to something in excess of 50dBd gain. Even if you pushing 1dBm out the feed, you're automatically exceeding the limit.
