> Can't we just choose the closest possible value in dB supported by a given chip? For example, if we choose TX power = 18db but chip supports only 17.6db and 18.1db then driver will select 18.1db. This way we can stay with the db unit, but the question is whether the accuracy of the power setting has any value here. I think this is the solution at least for now. The accuracy has practically no significance if it is not lab controlled equipment. In the real world, the field, radio signals are always unstable. Due many factors, the dB can swing multiple dBs. If for some reason you exactly precisely want like 5.23dB, these radios are probably not the right choice. But i'm talking about 99% of projects. For high power radio equipment it might be a different story, but then we are looking at amateur HAM radio, which is a different category of radios. We talk about hundreds of watts. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
