 I don&amp;#39;t need dynamic control, just setting to always use +3db. 
 Adding the following line to prj.conf 
 
 doesn&amp;#39;t work. 
 How can I do it?</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 16 Jul 2021 12:00:23 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/77504/how-to-set-nrf5340-3db-tx-power-in-ncs-1-6-0" /><item><title>RE: How to set nRF5340 3db tx power in NCS 1.6.0?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/320420?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 16 Jul 2021 12:00:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:8028eb5a-b05c-4b5c-9121-e7149892dc90</guid><dc:creator>Carl Richard</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;No problem!

As he points out you can use the approach in the &lt;a href="https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/zephyr/samples/bluetooth/hci_pwr_ctrl/README.html"&gt;HCI power control sample&lt;/a&gt;, with Vecord Specific HCI commands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alternatively you can switch to the Zephyr BT Controller with&amp;nbsp;CONFIG_BT_LL_SW_SPLIT=y. However, this lacks some of the functionality provided by the SDC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;Carl Richard&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
