Advertising and Oberving on specific channels

Hello,

I need to send packets on a specified advertising channel and receive them at the same advertising channel. Unfortunately, the SoftDevice API does not seem to support specific advertising channels. Could you please point me in the right direction on how to start? Will I need to implement this as a custom protocol? I think I need to use the 130 Soft Device because my devices must switch between advertising and scanning. I read that there are some restrictions when broadcasting a non-connectable advertisement packet, which ones do apply in this case? I already found this example: nordicsemiconductor.github.io/.../ I think it emulates advertising and observing without using the SoftDevice (seems a bit hackish to me, why not allow that functionality in the softDevice in the first place?). Can you give me a timeframe on when there will be more documentation to the observer role?

Thanks, Marius
