Well, below is the output from my Motorola 3400 and as you can see I
have software revision 3 which is later than the SW revision in yours.
Before you ask I don't know how to upgrade the software (or even if it
is upgradeable).   It may be that they only introduced the
(undocumented) feature for changing TX level *after* SW REV 1.
ATS39.0=1*TD9 works fine for me allthough to be honest I don't use it
in my init string and whether I use it or not doesn't seem to make any
difference - I always get a good connection.  From my AT&V you can see
that just now my TX level was at -20dBm and it still worked fine.

Edited Hyperterminal session follows:
