Hi all, In the "EMI" application's main.c is an interesting comment: /* hack: because we cannot control power of multiple burst, * we just force power to 1w, as it is fixed in dsp_extcode If I understand this correctly, the 'C54 code in src/target/firmware/calypso/dsp_extcode.c sets the transmit power to maximum (1W) for all multi-slot transmissions. Would it be possible to fix the multislot transmit power (for the TRX app as well as EMI) at some lower value instead (e.g. 100mW) by modifying dsp_extcode.c? Three reasons: 1. Play nicely with "other users" of the GSM band, by transmitting the same as a "proper" picocell, 2. not draw such a high current from the phone's tiny battery, and 3. avoid overheating the phone's RF power amp and other circuitry - I left my S-E J100 transmitting for about 5 minutes, then noticed that the LCD display was starting to "white out" with the heat! I've achieved a similar result by a hardware modification (added a resistor to reduce the power-control voltage going into the PA), but it's a brutal process - requires prying open a screening can and soldering an 0402 resistor, then trying to get the screening can lid to go back without too much deformation. A software mod would be much more elegant, but I don't know C54 DSP code. Sylvain? thanks, Steve
