   Can I change the names of the presets?
-Not if you want to continue to edit the presets from the ssh console menu.  However, if you are prespared to edit the config file directly (every time), and not from the ssh console menu, the preset names and parameters can be changed in the file /home/pi/ryde/config.yaml. Be very careful with the formatting; if it all goes wrong, you can use the factory reset option in the advanced settings menu of the ssh console.
+Yes, but you have to edit the config file directly, and not from the ssh console menu. The preset names and parameters can be changed in the file /home/pi/ryde/config.yaml.

   Can I control the Ryde from the QuickTune application?
-No, not yet.  Hopefully this feature is coming soon.
+Yes.  You need to set up QuichTune with the Ryde's IP Address, and then select QO-100 as the band.

   Everything seems to be working, except I only get "Locked No Video" on the screen, never a picture.
 Make sure that you have the HDMI monitor plugged into the primary HDMI socket - that's the one nearest the USB-C power socket.
