    Today I brought home a cool new HF receiver, a WJ-8716/MFP.  It has the
    following options:
    =20
    1.)     SMO
    2.)     PRE
    3.)     MFP
    =20
    Firmware rev. 6.85
    =20
    I do not yet have docs, but I was curious if anyone has any background =
    on
    this instrument.  It seems patterned after the 86xx series receivers, =
    sans

- Ignored:
    SDU and containing large mechanical IF filter modules.  This may be me,
=
    but
    the receiver has "newer" features, e.g. DB9 (M) and mating (F) =
    connectors.
    Does anyone recognize these options, or, if background intel is =
    available, I
    would like very much to read any input anyone may have.  Additionally, I
    want to be able to procure a replacement battery backup for the =
    receiver.
    The device, mounted on the CPU PCBA, is a General Electric (GE) =
    DataSentry
    model D335D.  The model number silk screened on the GE component has a
    couple of letters somewhat obscured.  I would like to verify this model
    number prior to research into procurement.  It holds stored memory well,
    however, time moves on.  If anyone can verify this, I would very much
    appreciate it
    
    =20
    
    If anyone can shed light, in the short term, I encourage =
    e-commiseration.
    Also, I am acutely interested in the PRE option.  Does it have the same
    implication as the PRE option for the 86xx, or might I guess that it is
    actually an internal preselector ?  I still do not detect a serial =
    output as
    I would the 86xx receivers.  This receiver seems to be finely tuned, =
    e.g.
    five IF BW's (.3, 1, 3.2, 6, 16 kHz) and seven demods (AM, FM, USB, LSB,
    ISB, CWV, CWF).
    
    =20
    
    If someone can expose the uncompressed definitions of the acronyms 1,2,
=
    and
    3,  this might allow me to more directly to address my concerns.  This
    receiver has keypad freq/BFO input, and relegates itself toward scanning
=
    and
    what I think is really cool "EXAM" (dwell) function.
    
    =20
    
    I really would like to hear from anyone who can provide more substantial
    technical input to this specific receiver.
    
    =20
    
    As always, kindest regards to all !

- Done.
