Currently the BS power is set in rsl_rx_chan_rqd() (file abis_rsl.c),
its the "lchan->ms_power" assignment. Currently the value 0x0F (13 dBm)
is used (I am not sure if this is still true for the latest version of
OpenBSC). If you set this value to 0, the MS will use the maximum
power (usually only 5 is supported for GSM900, 2 Watt). I did only
a few tests, but I could see that my phone uses the modified value.

You can of course also look at the measurement report and check the
used values.

Cool, do you have some pictures of the setup ? :-)

Best regards,
