Running beacon in long range mode

[apdobaj]

I can compile and run the beacon example in long range mode but advertising packets are not being received by any app on my mobile phone. Is there an app that's written for long range mode? If not, what is entailed in writing our own?

Hi Anthony

Do you know if your phone supports the long range mode?
Up until recently very few phones had support for this.  

This blog has a list of phones that are known to support long range/coded phy (as of 3 months ago):

If you do have one of these phones you should be able to read long range advertising packets using the nRF Connect app.

Thank you, I'll assume that's the issue before taking further steps.

Sounds good Anthony. 

Just let me know if you have more questions.
