 While using 2 nRF51422 dev boards and using the DTM software together with the DTM python example script the python program reports 0% PER even if I cut the antenna on one of the devices. 
 Shouldn&amp;#39;t I get 100% PER or am I misunderstanding something</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 02 Jun 2017 08:26:48 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/22518/dtm-reports-0-per-even-if-antenna-is-removed" /><item><title>RE: DTM reports 0% PER even if antenna is removed</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/88587?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 02 Jun 2017 08:26:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:721e7831-abce-4f1a-85cc-953c052da1a3</guid><dc:creator>endnode</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;DTM packets should be visible on come radio analyzers/sniffers (like Frontline) so you could check what is really happening in the air. I was achieving non-zero PER rather by shielding (put DUT into metal box or bring it far away or set Tx Power to -40dBm if you support this through vendor-specific DTM commands (Nordic seems to fixed this in their DTM example FW in recent SDKs).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
