I now have tested. My device is limited to 27 dBm, thus the limit in the txpower 
command is 2700, but one can reduce the power.

With your regulatory info, you should be able to get 3300, unless the rtl8192cu 
firmware has a limit to keep you from destroying the chip.

Perhaps you should ask Alfa about this issue.
