AP150W transmission power 5 GHz

I have a problem with the transmission power of the AP150W. The transmission power is set to manual 20dBm in the AP profile, but my access points just send 13dBm on the UNII-1 channels and 15dBm on the UNII-2 and UNII-2 E channels.
Who knows how to increase the transmission power of the radios to 20dBm?

Hi Tobias, the APs have to obey local regulations for wireless power levels, and that will be determined by the country code the AP is using. Could you let us know what country code you're using? You can see this by running the command "show boot-param" on the AP CLI.

Hi Sam
The country code is 756 (Switzerland). Here is the CLI output of the command.
AP150W#show boot

I've also checked the country code of an AP302W. The radio transmits 20 dBm on this model.
