RF TX power was lower than expecthttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/123766/rf-tx-power-was-lower-than-expectWhen I use DTM mode and config nRF54L15 to 8dBm, I only see 5.3dBm. And I tried 3 boards, they are the same. Is that normal or not The whole cable loss is lower than 1dB.en-USTelligent Community 13Mon, 18 Aug 2025 07:02:01 GMTRE: RF TX power was lower than expecthttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/545863?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 18 Aug 2025 07:02:01 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:0ba9c45e-a6cd-4bf8-bf79-24c92e2664a5mathiaso<p>Hi.</p> <p>Is it the nRF54L15 DK you're testing with?</p> <p>Could you try the <a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-3.1.0/page/nrf/samples/peripheral/radio_test/README.html">radio test</a> sample, instead of the DTM sample, and see what the results are then?</p> <p>Best regards,<br />Mathias</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
