    Using the device SOMDM3730-31-1880, how do we determine the bluetooth power it uses?

    Measurement suggests it is a class 2 device transmitting at around 3dbm, but is there a way to know for sure?  And can it be switched into class 1?

    I found this old post https://support.logicpd.com/TDGForum/tabid/124/aft/1946/Default.aspx but there was no follow up.

    Unfortunately, the maximum power levels are fixed and the hardware isn't designed for class 1 operation. When we sent the device out for regulatory certifications, we tried to get the maximum power out of the device without violating bandwidth and emissions standards.

    If you wanted to lower the maximum output power, we could work with you under services contract, but increasing the maximum power power isn't possible with this radio. If you wanted to use a non-wireless Torpedo, and connect a different Bluetooth radio to it, we might be able to help you with a services contract as well.

    Thank you! That's fine if we know it's class 2 only.
