I was not expecting 8W, but I was also not expecting 2.5W (+33.94dBm) from it.
And that's the saturated power it seems.

Some glacial progress on the 2.4GHz FM repeater project.

Added some preset trimmers to finally free up some power supplies while using the TX and RX chains.

Might also eventually need to properly reverse engineer the PA constant current thinggy, so that I can bias it closer to class-c and pull more power from it.
Tho I should also snowflake it.
But a single NBFM carrier ain't gona need the linarity multimegabaud QPSK did.

My 2.4GHz downconverter runs UNIX.
