I can not seem to figure out why when I init the advertising and then issue a start to the advertising the advertising beacon shows up as a connectable when viewing under nRFConnect app.
I have put the defines, and the two functions that I am using for advertising init and start. I have included main as well. All the other functions that have been omitted are the same as the ble_beacon_app example from SDK v17.1
#define APP_BLE_CONN_CFG_TAG 1 /**< A tag identifying the SoftDevice BLE configuration. */
#define NON_CONNECTABLE_ADV_INTERVAL MSEC_TO_UNITS(5000, UNIT_0_625_MS) /**< The advertising interval for non-connectable advertisement (100 ms). This value can vary between 100ms to 10.24s). */
#define APP_BEACON_INFO_LENGTH 0x18 /**< Total length of information advertised by the Beacon. */
#define APP_ADV_DATA_LENGTH 0x16 /**< Length of manufacturer specific data in the advertisement. */
#define APP_DEVICE_TYPE 0x02 /**< 0x02 refers to Beacon. */
#define APP_MEASURED_RSSI 0xC3 /**< The Beacon's measured RSSI at 1 meter distance in dBm. */
#define APP_BATT_PCNT_LVL 80 /**< The percentage amount of battery left. */

I am running in Release mode and have tried Debug mode and get the same results. The nRF_Log output is as below:
<info> app_timer: RTC: initialized.
<info> app: advertising_init
<info> app: Beacon example started.
<info> app: advertising_start
<info> app: Fast advertising.
On the nRF Connect app I am seeing under Raw:
0x02010404FF590002
I am seeing a five second advertisement so I know that parameter is being respected in the init sequence.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
