Subject: [Bluez-devel] Switching class II to class III?

Hello!

Stupid question: Is there a way to make a class II dongle (Acer BT600,
CSR) behave like class III (no signal strength adjustment, 1 mW, 10 m
range)? I mean without modifying the firmware. Just by HCI command.

kind regards
Stefan

The only method I know is to ensure that the peer dongle is close by.
