Can many Slaves Rx data from a single non-shared Master?

We are in the need of sending data from a master to up to 13 slaves. I know that this is possible with a "shared" channel but we do not want to loose a data byte for the address field. So the question is, can a network be configured so that a Master non-Shared Synchronous Channel can transmit to 13 Slave nodes on the same channel assuming that none of the slaves will ever transmit data? There will never be transmit of data from a slave to any other node in our application.

We are using the nRF52 and S332 SoftDevice if this makes a difference.

Hi,

Any number of slaves can be paired with any single ANT master channel. Shared channels are only intended to manage time slot contention from a large number of slaves transmitting to a single master channel concurrently. This applies to any ANT master/slave channels on any device.
