The ‘klxupdate’ script is provided by gw6wtk and appears on all Western D-Star images since January 2013, this update script also may appear on images built by other providers. You can also install this feature on your own personal build if you wish. Despite it’s title it is not the responsibility of Jonathan Naylor (G4KLX) in any shape or form, any issues with this script are the responsibility Brian gw6wtk.
