How to send actual data packets using LE coded PHY, in BLE long range?

I followed the above link to setup BLE long-range testing to advertise the data. But, it didn't specify how to transmit and receive actual data packets and check its range. Can you help me ?

Hi,

You can try the UART peripheral & central examples I uploaded in this ticket here if you have access to 2 nrf52840 DKs: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/40476/unable-to-convert-to-long-range-after-looking-at-umpteen-examples--/157300#157300. One of the boards must be programmed with the Central example and the other one with the Peripheral example. Once they are connected you can send UART data over BT from one board to the other.
