Hi Matthias, thank you for the hint. That's funny, because someone from the German Federal Network Agency said that when radios have multiple antennas, the aggregated EIRP of the antenna array must not exceed the EIRP limits of a single antenna, but I've assumed this is done in hardware and

Adrian- I have a C7V2 and can do some testing on it if you'd explain exactly what you're looking for... I don't quite follow what is needed in the above thread. Something about looking at PCI paths before and after an upgrade from one version to another... Camden On Mon, Apr 22, 2019 at 4:45 AM

This is just the factor of 1/2/3/4 (approximated) in dB: 10^0.0 = 1 10^0.3 ≈ 2 10^0.5 ≈ 3 10^0.6 ≈ 4 I've seen these numbers being used in WLAN drivers to account for the antenna array gain, so at least this part of the TX power computation might already be working as expected. Kind Regards,
