    Hi John,

    Thanks for this.

    For others that may be upgrading, please be aware that the installation instructions on the JKS Github page

     jks-prv /KiwiSDR-antenna-switch-extension

    Iink to the original OH1KK Github repository

    git clone https://github.com/OH1KK/KiwiSDR-antenna-switch-extension.git

    Took me a while to figure out what was going on.

    Regards,

    Martin

    v1.608 is compatible with the previous (8/2022) version of the antenna switch extension. But if you update to the latest (6/2023) extension you must be running v1.608 (or later).

    Hi John,

    Yes I checked the KiWi version was v1.608 (or later) before I updated the antenna switch extension.

    My confusion was regarding the correct GitHub repository, and finally using

    https://github.com/jks-prv/KiwiSDR-antenna-switch-extension.git

    and not the original one as shown in the installation notes on your JKS Github

    https://github.com/OH1KK/KiwiSDR-antenna-switch-extension.git

    BTW, It works great BTW and I'm pleased that when I built the GPO interface box I had already made provision for ten switches, just in case one day they may have been of some use :-)

    Regards,

    Martin

    I'll submit a PR to Kari and we'll eventually get re-synchronized again.
