 ====RF input band switching====
-The Ryde has been designed to control the Portsdown 4 and 8 way RF switches https://wiki.batc.org.uk/8-Band_RF_Output_Switch  The RF switch should be built leaving out the MMIC stage U10 which is bypassed with a short circuit or a 1nf capacitor.
+The Ryde has been designed to control the Portsdown 4 and 8 way RF switches https://wiki.batc.org.uk/8-Band_RF_Output_Switch  The RF switch should be built leaving out the MMIC stage U1 which is bypassed with a short circuit or a 1nf capacitor.
 This switching is enabled in Ryde software version 202111051 and later.  The default GPIO pins are specified in the [[Ryde_GPIO_Connections]], but can be changed by manually editing the /home/pi/ryde/config.yaml file.  Note that the numbers in the config file refer to the Broadcom port numbers in the second column of the GPIO table.

		+	==The Ryde DVB-S/S2 Watchdog==
		+
		+	The Ryde is perfect for use at Exhibitions to the public, but sometimes when auto-tuning on QO-100 it will come across a station with illegal parameters and crash. The Ryde watchdog, described here [[Ryde Watchdog]] restarts the Ryde application when this happens.
