Hi, I am looking at possibility of dynamically control the maximum or default transmit power.
   Basically I would like to change the transmit power level during inquiry. So I could kind of dynamically control the physical range of devices that I see. In CSR's Bluecore chip, I think there are pskey that stored the maximum and default transmit power. And there seem to be bccmd psget 0x0017 to get the value.
  Now my problem is I am using a class 1 dongle using Broadcom chipset. Is there a way to dynamically control the default or maximum transmit power e.g.
   hcitool cmd 0x.. 0x.. ..... ?

   During the inquiry paging, does anyone know if they use default or maximum transmit power?

Thanks,
Edwin
