Abhijeet,

I've looked at the RF230 manual, and 0xF is the lowest power setting.  
If this transmission range is not low enough, then the only thing I can 
think of that you can do is attenuate the signal at the antenna.  You 
could try either covering the antenna in tin foil, or removing the 
antenna altogether.
