 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 </description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 04 Mar 2024 12:11:04 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/108895/ncs-2-5-2-legacy-adv-how-to-increase-legacy-adv-tx-power" /><item><title>RE: NCS 2.5.2, legacy adv, how to increase legacy adv tx power</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/472003?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 04 Mar 2024 12:11:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:ae93b081-c844-4236-8786-b24566ccce27</guid><dc:creator>Simonr</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. The default TX power is indeed 0dBm by default.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. The TX power in NCS applications should be set with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/kconfig/index.html#CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR"&gt;&lt;span&gt;CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in your prj.conf file. Here you have choices of what you set them, and for +8dBm you need to use&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/kconfig/index.html#CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR_PLUS_8"&gt;CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR_PLUS_8&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Simon&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
