I definitely see your point. I will report this internally for future improvement. I think this documentation could be added to the existing Advertising and Scanning module documentation.

Thanks. Though from a user/integrator perspective it would be useful to have some feature based documentation, e.g. to use PHY Coded use these API's rather that have the information spread throughout several documents

The documentation is a bit split between SDK modules documentation and the Softdevice API documentation when it comes to setting up an advertiser/scanner with CODED PHY.

Maybe you have seen them already, but here are some doc. links which I you may find relevant:

Advertising using extended advertising PDUs - message sequence chart illustrating how an extended advertisment set is configured and used

sd_ble_gap_adv_set_configure - Function for configuring an advertisment set

Advertising Module used by most ble peripheral examples to manage advertising

Scanning Module

Thanks, The 1st link is a good overview (I read it yesterday) but I was looking for how to enable PHY Coded using the Nordic SDK from the Nordic SDK Documentation. I will look at how you did it your sample code and apply to mine. Though I do find the Espressif ESP_32 documentation much easier to navigate than Nordic.

You may also review the changes I made in the example I posted here: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/40476/unable-to-convert-to-long-range-after-looking-at-umpteen-examples-- . It's based on an older SDK version, but the changes should still apply to newer versions.

I want to update existing code rather that use demo code, is there any info on what to change in the SDK to achieve PHY Code S2/S8 in the docs?

Just found it thanks,

The link gives a 404 error for me? Could you give the full path?
