Question about TX power control on Central device

[ThomasCook]

I know how to set high power (8dBm) when running a nRF52840 as a peripheral (i.e. sd_ble_gap_tx_power_set(BLE_GAP_TX_POWER_ROLE_ADV, m_advertising.adv_handle, 8) ), but how can I set a device running as central to the same 8dBm transmit power level?

Hi,

You can call sd_ble_gap_tx_power_set(BLE_GAP_TX_POWER_ROLE_SCAN_INIT, 0 /* Handle ignored in this role*/, 8) before scan start. The power setting will be inherited when a connection is established.
