For the AWG/hittite chip on FORT 1, 3db input on CW setting is equivalent to 33 to 33.2 dbm output power, 2 Watts, maybe a tad more. Since I'm not running this all the time, I think slightly more than 2 Watts should be fine. On pulse setting, 0 V input gives 11.5 dbm and -700 mV gives 32.8 dbm. A little over 20 dbm attenuation, that should work fine for what we're doing. The majority of attenuation happens from 0 to -200 mV.

I made an identical circuit for FORT 2. at 0 V, the output is 3 dbm for 4.5 dbm input power. The input power might change based on what RF generator you use, always check it first. At 700 mV the output is -26 dbm, 29 dbm range, I think the circuit for regulating the current to the chip is slightly off in the FORT 1 circuit.
