Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] dB or dBm

[Ralph A. Schmid, dk5ras]

But still the dynamic range usually ends already quite below the maximum
allowed level what is more a kind of hardware protection rule.

Add some more attenuation and see if at least a 5dB change on your
transmitter creates a 5dB change on your SDR. Then you are in the linear
range and can start trying to calibrate the thingy for your frequency. And
turn off AGC if this option is available.
