Any pointers what I might be doing wrong greatly appreciated.
Bill are you able to ssh into the RPi with a pc and Ethernet cable?
If so do this...
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Use the down arrow on the keyboard and at the end of the file add
dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi
Use cntrl O to output the file (ie save it)
Use cntrl X to exit
then...
sudo reboot now
That should disable the onboard WiFi
