The datasheet says the range is 8 - 16
But the Reset value is shown as 5 - which is not within that range!
Please clarify!

The text could be read both ways. Note that figure 17 in https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swru295e/swru295e.pdf also uses SECOND_IPL = 5 and as I read it it's an index within the 8 upper power levels meaning if you want to use power level 8 the index has to be 0 (SECOND_IPL = 0.
I would leave FIRST_IPL and SECOND_IPL to default as long as you don't need to fine tune the PA ramping.

Oh, I see.
That makes sense once you say it - but is really not in the least bit clear from document!
It would be helpful if SmartRF Studio provided a decode of these values
