It's dependent on your hardware.
Basically 'count' is just the raw value and what that value means is
whatever the source block returned. It can be normalized between -1.0
and 1.0 or represent the raw adc value, and then what voltage the
represents depends on the ADC reference used in your hw. What power it
represent at the input depends on the total gain in the rx chain from
input to ADC ...
All of that is out-of-scope for GR, you have to calibrate it out if
you want absolute/known units.
