 I am currently facing the following problem. I have a thingy53 running as sensor server application (bluetooth mesh).

&lt;p&gt;thanks for your reply. Using the &amp;quot;&lt;a href="https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/kconfig/index.html#CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR_ANTENNA"&gt;&lt;span&gt;CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR_ANTENNA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot; works well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In further use cases I need to adjust the tx power during runtime, so I will need to implement the spi communication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best Regards&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Thingy 53 and nRF21540 Frontend (Bluetooth Mesh) - How to set TX power via SPI</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/436981?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Jul 2023 11:34:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:4304f6a7-1f6c-4f08-a3a2-fc8ba7ff2e9d</guid><dc:creator>Bendik Heiskel</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The control of the nRF21540 is handled by the MPSL FEM driver. This means you won&amp;#39;t need to implement the SPI communication yourself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The easiest way to configure the TX output power is to just use &lt;a href="https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/kconfig/index.html#CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR_ANTENNA"&gt;&lt;span&gt;CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR_ANTENNA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to set the final output power at compile time. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bendik&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
