RE: nRF Connect, DTM and Tx power

Yes, the nRF Connect SDK version of the DTM sample only supports TX powers from -40 to 4dBm, and to get the values above 4dBm you need samples supported by the nRF52840 by default (which the NCS app does not for the time being, it might be implemented in the future). You can use either the Direct Test Mode app in nRF Connect for Desktop as you say, or the nRF5 SDK version of the DTM project.

+1 dBm is not a valid configuration according to the nRF52840 product specification, but you should be able to set it to +2 dBm I believe, and I'll ask internally what this could be about, can you provide some details on what happens when you try setting the TX power to +2 dBm on your end?

Best regards,

Simon
