@John Jackson good question — honestly this is one of those things that trips up a lot of people coming from standard BLE modules where adaptive TX power (APC) is sometimes baked into the stack.
The MultiNav Pro+ is built around the STM32WB07 and the external PA stage is what gets you that extended range. The short answer is that out of the box it's not automatically scaling TX power based on RSSI — it's running at the configured output level consistently, which is what guarantees you hit the range spec reliably at the far end. The tradeoff is that yeah, your 10-meter nodes are getting way more power than they need.
That said, you can absolutely implement this yourself in firmware. The STM32WB07 BLE stack exposes RSSI per connection, so the pattern would be to read RSSI periodically, define threshold bands, and call the TX power adjustment API accordingly — it's not a huge lift if you want to prototype it. If you're on the AI Firmware Builder in the Club, that's actually a solid use case to throw at it and see what it generates as a starting point.
Worth flagging to Moamen too if this is something you'd want as a toggle in a future firmware release — the use case makes sense for mesh deployments where you've got mixed-distance nodes and want to stretch battery life on the close-range pairs.
