Can I use coded PHY S=2 with nRF5 SDK 17.1?

[Dave New]

I am using a nRF52811 with nRF5 SDK 17.1

I have set the PHY to BLE_GAP_PHY_CODED, I believe this uses S=8?

Is it possible to select S=2 with this SDK?

Thanks

Hi,

You can receive with both S=2 and S=8, but we only support sending with S=8.

(The reason for not supporting sending with S=2 is that you gain very little range using S=2 compared to the regular 1 Mbps PHY).
