Output RF power in DTM mode

Hello,

I have problems setting the output RF power to +8 dBm during DTM test using the example dtm application. The example dtm application is used as it is provided with a small change. The m_tx_power variable is set to RADIO_TXPOWER_TXPOWER_Pos8dBm instead of DEFAULT_TX_POWER that is defined to RADIO_TXPOWER_TXPOWER_0dBm.

static int32_t m_tx_power = RADIO_TXPOWER_TXPOWER_Pos8dBm;
There was a similar issue regarding setting the RX power in this forum devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../dtm-8dbm-issue
But we use “ the new” sdk and the dtm_radio_validate() function contains check for RADIO_TXPOWER_TXPOWER_Pos8dBm;

We measure approx. +4dBm instead of the +8dBm.

I will really appreciate any hints regarding the described issue.
