The example is in NCS HRS example where you can see how you can use CODE_PHY (long range) setting in your product.

You can have 1 DK with the HRS Peripheral coded phy example as shown in my previous reply.
And the another peer which needs another DK with Central CODED PHY HRS example. Then you can have a demo to test the long range with CODED phy on both ends.

I am assuming by latest you mean that you are using NCSv1.9.1 SDK.

Samples I mentioned are located at

v1.9.x\nrf\samples\bluetooth\central_hr_coded
v1.9.x\nrf\samples\bluetooth\peripheral_hr_coded

Hi

Thanks for getting back, I have managed to download NCSv1.9.1 SDK through the tool chain manager, I am using Segger embedded studio, when I used this before SDK 1.8 gave me a choice of boards PCA10056 then clicking through it gave me the folder ses and a project to click on, but this no longer seems to be the case, can you please show me how to select an example and run in Segger or is VS better to use, sorry very new to this product.

You do not have segger projects anymore. You either use your own editor or use the officially supported visual codes studio along with nordic extensions to build your code.

Hi

Have just used VS , one question what is Zephyr?

Zephyr is an RTOS on which our latest SDK (NCS) is build upon. When installing our SDK from our guidelines, Zephyr RTOS repos are also pulled in so that you have a whole setup needed. If you are new to this, I recommend looking at the getting started guide and also the release notes to see what is included in our SDK.
