I am looking at the datasheet for BCM20707 Bluetooth chip. Does anyone know the absolute maximum RF input (dBm) the chip can handle before permanently damaging the chip?

Eventually the datasheet will get updated for the official 'info', but you are about to receive word from Carl that:  "Recommendation from engineering team is at least 20dB antenna isolation and to keep the maximum input power below -5dBm for CW signals and below -10dBm for high peak to average ratio signals such as WiFi OFDM."  There may be more correspondence forthcoming and I'll continue to update the forum posting as necessary because someday somebody may have the same question...
