The Blinky transmitter is fine and output is within spec.

Cable the Tx antenna lead to connector P100 on the bottom of the board to bypass the PA.

 

R regardless of how the programming manual reads the output is not a linear function.

Attached is the document I did earlier on the LaunchPad relating transmitter output to the power level field.

 

When I did the LaunchPad study I had the transmitter sending long data burst that let me easily read the power level.

With the Blinky code I’m only getting a quick glance at the power level but it looks to be within spec and doesn’t warrant further study.

 

Ready for the PA.
