Hi,

The purpose of the Radio support DLL Apis described at the link below is to allow Bluetooth Radio manufacturers to implement the vendor specific code required to turn the radio on or off.  There is otherwise no inbox Apis to allow application developers to control the state of the radio.  The user should use the built-in experience to manage the power state of their radios.
