Device Address match

I have two questions.

1. Is it possible to use the DAP[n]/DAB[n] registers without using Bluetooth 4.0?

2. If it is possible, then how? I searched all the sample code, and couldn't find anything. Furthermore, I read the reference manual for the nRF51822 and there was only one paragraph (16.1.13) on the topic.

I just want to use a host to listen for 5 devices using the radio. No s110 or s120 bluetooth stack. I don't want to use Gazell or Ant. I want my own stack. The reason is that since s110, s120, Ant and Gazell do not allow me to see the source code (since it is already precompiled) I can't learn anything. I don't believe in blindly trusting someone's code. I'm sure their code is good, but I would like to tailor the code to my application, and thus optimize it.

Thanks for the speedy reply.

I did read the entire section of the reference manual pertaining to the Radio. Several times. This is why I'm asking if there is anybody who has actually used the DAP[n]/DAB[n] registers. I also understand that writing my own protocol is challenging, but anything worth doing is always tough. I just want to be able to use a host that listens and receives packets from several devices, and I don't want to use the proprietary protocols since they always limit my flexibility.

Thank you for the link to the GitHub project. It helps to see what others are doing.
