[Premium-Rx] Multiple WJ-8617B-5 on eBay

[Glenn Little WB4UIV]

They all have different serial numbers.

As I decode the options it does not have the extended front end to 1100 MHz.
It does appear to have the low frequency extended front end.
It appears to have the 150 Hz tone detector.

All have sold for less than $700.00.

I guess that this would make a good LF to low UHF monitor receiver 
with a spectrum display.
