Question
What are the valid values for txPower?
Answer
On EM2xx platform, valid PHY power range of the radio is -43 dBm to 3 dBm. Any integer power level that falls within this range will be rounded to the nearest supported setting.
Note: txPower values 4 and 5 dBm are available only in boost mode (which will increase power consumption significantly, thus reducing battery life).
On EM35x platform, valid PHY power range of the radio is -43 dBm to 8 dBm. Any integer power level that falls within this range will be rounded down to nearest supported setting
Note: txPower values 4 through 8 dBm are available only in boost mode (which will increase power consumption significantly, thus reducing battery life).
