Carl Moreschi,  N4PY is the fellow who originated the  Modification for the 
RX340.  I tried to find the actual mod, but off hand don't see it in the 
folder where it should be.  I suspect if you do a Google search with Carl's 
name and call sign, you should find the details.  Can't help you with the 
WJ...one of the few receivers I haven't owned.  The 2050 is neck and neck 
with the R-390A.  I recall doing some interesting A-B comparisons in the 
past between the 390A and the 2050.  One was when French Guyana was still 
on SW on 5050v.  With both receivers I was able to differentiate a station 
on exactly 5050 and the French channel a hundred or two hundred Hz 
above.  Pretty snazzy, I thought.  Another time was with Antarctica on 
15476 during a special test to North America.  Again, both performed 
admirably (with the 390A winning by a hair), beating out cochannel 
interference on 15475..........Walt.
