Hi Geir,

It is a bit confusing when you mention nrf52832 dev kits and talk about long range which is only available on nRF52840.

From here on, I assume that you meant to use nRF52840.

1) There is a thread on this which you can find here on how to power the nrf chip only on the DK.

2) Yes

3) You need to make few changes to enable long range mode and that NUS (ble uart) examples do not use this mode. The changes should not be very big, it is just to configure the device to be able to advertise/scan and connect in long range mode.

4) We added long range to ATT MTU example in the blogpost mentioned here. If you download this zip file and compare this ATT_MTU example with the non edited SDK example, then you will see exactly those changes that you need to change the PHY to long range. Unfortunately we do not have any other example to demonstrate this feature apart from this.

5) Yes, we have a USB dongle which might suit your need, or are you looking for something different?
