How is 20dBm possible on the Hope radios?

If the RFIO is shared the maximum output is 14dBm whereas if the RFIO are split into separate antennae the maximum is 20dBm.
So how are people reaching 20dBm ? Is this purely setting the output to 20dBm in software?

See page 77 of the DS for the reference design used on RFM69.

OK, nothing like the SX172/X series.

Again, maybe it would be helpful to define what you are asking about. Ie "How is 20dBm possible in SXxxxx / RFMxx". Can you perhaps update the title? Thanks.
