My best recollection is that there never was one published and though this could have been easily derived once on orbit, the propulsion incident ended any hope of that.

800W EIRP should work -- the SNR will just be 2 dB lower. We used 1 kW EIRP as the requirement as it is the power limit in many parts of the U.S. I don't remember any publishedspecification for the AO-40 uplink, so I can't make a numberical comparison.

1kw EIRP... I've got about 100w into a 2x8 CP antenna (guessing 8dbi ?), so that's about the same. How does this compare to the uplink requirements for U/S on AO-40? I was able (accidentally) to get Leila's attention with that.
