Hi,

I am afraid I do not have those versions of the PDK at the moment, so I cannot check to see. The chip revision used on those PDK versions did have some RADIO related erratas that may impact the sniffer capabilities, and I am not sure if the sniffer firmware employs the required workarounds for those and potentially other issues found on the engineering revisions of the nRF52840 SoC. You may get it to work with the nRF Sniffer, or you may experience issues. Official nRF Sniffer support is from nRF52840 DK v1.0.0 onwards.
