I'm sorry, but the radio test example can set the radio in RX mode, but it won't be able to receive any data. As far as I know, we don't have any tools to scan for extended packets as you describe at the time,

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simonr,

Thanks for the answer! For this purpose, can I use the radio test example to scan for BLE packets on all channels?

Extended advertising is not yet supported by the nRF Sniffer. You may be able to see the initial packet ADV_EXT_IND but not the actual extended packets. Note that the nRF Sniffer does not support the nRF52840 Dongle either currently, as the supported devices are: the nRF52840 DK, nRF52 DK, nRF51 DK or the nRF51 Dongle.

Best regards,

Simon
