I had previously noted that the B210 TX power had increased by about 5 dB going from UHD 3.11.1.0 to UHD 3.12.0. Today, I was doing some two tone IMD testing and noticed that the IMD performance has degraded *severely* from UHD 3.11.1.0 to UHD 3.12.0. Here are the spectrum analyzer plots at ro

After upgrading UHD, I noticed that the TX power level on my B210 has increased by about 5 dB (with the exact same flow graph). Is this an intentional change, or a side effect of some other fix? The power level change occurs between UHD 3.11.1.0 and UHD 3.12.0. Ron _
