[Premium-Rx] WJ-8712 gurus?

[Geoff Greer]

Hi Group,

  I've been working with a 8711T lately.  The one I have uses an 8711 
chassis that was the 1st version of it .  It has 5 DSP bandwidths and can't 
be upgraded except by changing the DSP card.

  I've been using Ergo software to control it and the software controls 
everything except the bandwidth selection.

  The service jack for a remote front panel is behind a small hatch on the 
front panel.  The jack is on a piece of flat cable you have to fish out the 
hatch.

  The performance of the receiver is excellent.
