Note: The MC87xx has a nominal output power of +23 dBm

1 dB in

WCDMA mode. However, the value measured by the power meter is
significantly influenced (beyond the stated

1 dB output power

tolerance) by the test setup (host RF cabling loss, antenna efficiency
and pattern, test antenna efficiency and pattern, and choice of shield
box).

Note: When doing the same test over the air in an RF chamber,
values are likely to be significantly lower.
