Do you have data on current consumption and RF output power VS input voltage?

How does tx range change between 3v or 3.3v?

It happens that we don't have that sort of data on hand (all of the measurement data I could get my hands on this morning was at the same VCC).

I think we are going to be doing another round of experimental measurements in the future, we will add "varying VCC" to the test requirements.

In the meantime, feel free to use the LinkQualityRanger.py scripts (included with Portal 2.1) to make your own measurements at various VCC levels.

We recommend you use multiple RF Engines to get a good statistical sample (we tested with 5 boards of each type last time we were doing these sorts of measurements).
