FYI, ATPC (Automatic Transmit Power Control) is practiced by the Mimosa B11 but it is done a bit differently.
First of all.... There is a function built into the Mimosa B11 which allows them to back off Tx Power. (Latest firmware). 2nd, The Mimosa Radios have an uncanny ability to deal with Hot Signals and still keep offering best performance (-30 !) With Older firmware, a couple of versions back, the ideal sweet spot for performance was with an SNR of 34-36 .. but in the last couple of firmware updates they have improved performance with Hot signals and a High SNR. Feel free to test it ... :) Regards.
