FCC testing with softdevice

Question

Hi 
 I need to certify a product in FCC and they sent us what they want. Radio_test_example is basically what I need, but the problem is that I'm using SoftDevice 110 and can't access NRF_RADIO directly. All I can find in the documentations is how to change the TXPOWER but not the other parameters. 
 So my question is how to change the other radio parameters (modulation, channel, power etc) with softdevice? 
 I need to run nordic in normal mode and thus need to use softdevice (otherwise need to rewrite some of the code). 
 Any suggestions on how to proceed in this situation? 
 
 Thank you in advance

Taavi K , AmbystomaLabs is right. We have used radio test example (modified slighty to support our custom PCBAs) to certify 5 products using the nRF52832 over the last 3 years with no problems. You will normally be required to modify your product to include an SMA connector for the tests and you will need access to the UART to control the test. It doesn't run with the softdevice so the radio test example has fully control of the radio. Normally we provide the lab with several samples some running the test firmware and some running application firmware with the softdevice so they can complete all of their testing without having to program PCBAs.
