OK. Thank you.

measured + 20 dBm for 900 MHz band and +17 dBm for 1800.

I will be testing this UMTRX with a DCS amp with 10 dBM input. Just to be
sure, I just need to adjust attenuation to at least 7 dBM and 8 probably to
avoid clipping the RF amp as below:

GSM.Radio.PowerManager.MaxAttenDB 8
GSM.Radio.PowerManager.MinAttenDB 0

Is using an LNA with BPF advisable with your UMTRX?

What is the operating temperature of your UMTRX as I want to make sure the
HD case I am using for testing is good enough. I installed a small fan and
so far temperature is around 40 deg C.

The LEDs are on the board and I may want to solder some LEDs to monitor
status, where on the board can I terminate the power for LEDs?
