SMARTRFTM-STUDIO: How is .txPower = 0xA73F equal to 14dBm power?

Part Number: SMARTRFTM-STUDIO

Hi everyone,

This question might seem silly but I have to ask. I see that the txPower in dBm is 14 and for that the corresponding value seen in smartrf_settings.c is 0xA73F. The formula for power in dBm is 

10*log10[P(in watts)/(1mW)]

When I calculate dBm power from this formula I get 

(A73F)16 = (42815)10 = 76.3159 dBm

Or when I try to reverse calculate power value from 14dBm, I get

14 dBm = (0.02511)10= (0.066D9)16

 So how do I interpret the values in smartrf_settings? I want to assign a different power value IN THE FILE and cannot do so due to this anomaly.

 

Can someone help me with this?

 

Thanks in advance,
