Wrong. What it said was that SetFrequency had an invalid parameter.

So I thought:

And that got me looking at the source code, and there I realised that if
the wrong list of channels is specified, obviously some of them will be
bogus. So I changed the channel list in kismet.conf and now it works.
Operator error, sort of :-)

Cool!

Regards, K.
