2.4GHz signal between 2 nRF52840 Dongle

Question

Hello, 
 
 I have 2 nRF52840 Dongles. I am trying to use one to transmit 2.4GHz wireless signal and the other to recieve wireless signal and read the connection strength (RSSI). How can this be done? 
 
 So far I have installed nRF Connect and was able to use the BLE application to test bluetooth signal between my nRF52840 dongles. Is there a similar way to test 2.4GHz signal using nRF Connect application? 
 
 I am using Ubuntu 18.04, but I can access a Windows laptop if needed. 
 Thanks!

Hi Auuken, 
 I see, I now understood your question. Unfortunately you cannot use the nRF Connect app for testing propietary protocols. The easiest way to test the 2.4GHz radio would be with the Radio Test Example , but you will need to use a DK connected to your computer as the example is controlled using UART. 
 You could also modify the example to use USB-CDC instead of UART in you want to use the dongle, you can see this example here as a guideline.
