For testing the radio you can use the radio_test example in the SDK. It's located in the folder <SDK_InstallFolder>\examples\peripheral\radio_test.

For DTM you will have to wait ~4 weeks for SDK 14.

Regarding DTM and radio test example:

DTM and the radio test example represents two different tests: DTM is for Bluetooth testing and the radio test example is for testing the radio.

For qualification for regulatory standards like FCC, ETSI, etc. the radio test example is most handy, because those qualifications are related to the radio itself.

For Bluetooth qualification, DTM should be used.
