Odd - and you're sure it was actually using the coded phy?

I don't actually remember I'm afraid, I wasn't looking specifically for RSSI - but when I tested I definitely felt like I got much better range than I experienced from normal advertising.

But...

connected webide relay from notebook inside to the dongle (over BLE)

The dongle should support serial over USB, so maybe connect via USB instead? It's possible that trying to keep a bluetooth connection running while also scanning means it's not able to use the coded phy properly?

I have many BLE devices around and I could see only the watch in the scan so I guessed coded phy worked as there are no filters in the scan.
```
NRF.setScan(function(d) {
  print(`name : ${d.name}
rssi: ${d.rssi}`);
},{phy:"coded"});
```
I can try usb, I wanted notebook to stay inside and dongle outside so used BLE.
