NCS 2.5.2, legacy adv, how to increase legacy adv tx power

[kai_ren]

NCS: 2.5.2

Sample: scan_adv

Dev kit: nRF52840dk_nrf52840

I could run this sample and I could observer adv packets on Ellisys sniffer, two things want to clarify:

1. what is the default tx power? 0dBm?

2. how to increase tx power to maximum +8dBm?

Hi

1. The default TX power is indeed 0dBm by default.

2. The TX power in NCS applications should be set with CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR in your prj.conf file. Here you have choices of what you set them, and for +8dBm you need to use CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR_PLUS_8.

Best regards,
