, or AUX_SCAN_REQ
packet"Not improvements:
The nRF52840 equipped boards ship with the Nordic's SoftDevice v6.1.1. This legacy version of the Soft Device does not provide long range capability. Version 7.0.1 or later of the Soft Device enables the long range BT 5 functionality of the chip (S=8 coded BLE). As IoT becomes more common, it seems that there would be a number of use cases and high demand for this.
