I'm working with the nRF52840 PDK and I'm wondering how to change the PHY (preferably to CODED) in a Mesh. Has that been implemented yet? Or when can we expect this feature?

Yes there is a great difference in the range. and more importantly to me it get through the local interference inside. I tested the range on our production floor. But I have not done any real range testing due to the weather here.

Hi Jeff,
Curious if you done any more on this and if you are using this with latest Softdevices from Nordic. We are trying BLE Mesh for a smart city application. Still not fully sure if we need coded phy but it will give the extra margin that we might need ...

Been a while since i visited this topic. Any news? Done any test on newer versions of the Mesh SDK?
The latest Mesh SDK version is 3.1.
AFAIK the official Mesh specs still do NOT support Bluetooth 5.
I know that the mesh spec does not support Bluetooth 5 but the question was If anyone testet the ”trick” above to enable coded PHY over Mesh in the latest version of the Mesh SD! We are interested to see what cab be achieved in future long range mesh.
I am testing Long Range now with the intent of integrating into the mesh,. So far I have had nothing other then the Throughput test used by Nordic for range testing do anything with the long range. I saw a drop in throughput but have not tested the range yet.
