 I have an application wherein I need to scan for beacons within a desired range(10m, 20m) using nrf52840. 
 I know of adjusting the transmit power using gap_ble_tx_power_set(int8 tx_power) function in the library which can be used for beacons. </description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 02 Jan 2019 15:11:36 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/42076/changing-bluetooth-range-of-nrf52840" /><item><title>RE: Changing bluetooth range of nrf52840</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/163499?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jan 2019 15:11:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:5e16b991-27a0-4822-a3dd-163ac6b396e7</guid><dc:creator>awneil</dc:creator><description>[quote userid="74132" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/42076/changing-bluetooth-range-of-nrf52840"]Will above setting work in case of a scanner?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;What do you mean by &amp;quot;work&amp;quot; ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It will work in that it will adjust the scanner&amp;#39;s transmit power.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But that won&amp;#39;t be any help in determining how far away the beacons are!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do a search of this forum for the many, many previous threads on trying to determine distance using BLE ...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
