Is it possible to get the rssi of ADV_EXT_IND?

Hi!

I am evaluating Extended Advertising.
Is it possible to get the rssi of ADV_EXT_IND at the BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT event?
That was possible with AUX_ADV_IND.

My environment is as follows:
* SDK15.2.0
* Peripheral:Custom Board(nRF52840)
* Central:nRF52840 DK

Thanks!

    1. Yes, when multiple advertising packets complete a siingle one, as stated in my previous note, the RSSI will be set based on the last packet received, so whichever one is being received last. Could be any of the two.
    2. What exactly do you mean here? Do you mean that you didn't receive the extension? Or that you didn't detect the RSSI on the other channels? Please specify.
    3. What do you mean by Nordics Extended Advertising Report? What I referred to in my last reply was from the Bluetooth specification. To my knowledge there is no such thing as this.
    4. The RSSI and channel in the BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT should match the RSSI and channel of the last packet received if you have multiple packets in your event.

    Best regards,
