[Premium-Rx] End of production of an icon..

It surprised me too, given the many present day 
demands the receiver cannot fulfill. But Jane's 
Military Communications, in 2010, has a remark 
which could be interpreted as if it was still 
being offered in early 2010 (see the end of quote)

WJ-8711A full-rack digital HF receiver (United 
States), Surveillance and signal analysis

Description
This general purpose HF receiver provides 
surveillance and monitoring of RF communications 
from 5 kHz to 30 MHz with 1 Hz tuning resolution. 
It combines analogue and digital signal 
processing.The receiver has 66 standard 
selectable IF bandwidths. Available detection 
modes are AM, SAM, FM, CW, USB, LSB and ISB (FSK 
optional). An operator can adjust the tunable BFO 
in 10-Hz steps over an ±8,000 Hz range, and the 
available passband tuning is claimed to further 
enhance the reception of CW signals. Gain control 
is manual or automatic, with fast, medium and 
slow AGC modes. An operator can adjust the 
squelch threshold from 0 to -135 dBm, or disable 
it. Enabling the noise-blanking feature 
effectively eliminates the adverse effects of 
impulsive noise.In addition to fixed-frequency 
tuning, the WJ-8711A provides scanning in three 
modes: channel scan, F1-F2 scan and F1-F2 scan 
with lockouts. Dwell times are available for all 
scan modes from 0.5 to 20 seconds or infinite. 
The channel scan mode provides 100 programmable 
memory channels. The operator can specify sectors 
of memory for individual channel scans, allowing 
the subdivision of available memory into multiple 
search scenarios. Operators can specify that the 
receiver skips certain channels without deleting 
them from memory. Memory channels can also be 
single-stepped manually. In both F1-F2 scan 
modes, the step size is user-selectable from 1 Hz 
to 25 kHz. The receiver can store up to 100 
independent frequency lockouts.Other features of 
the WJ-8711A include: dynamic range of +30 dBm 
3rd order intercept, typical; digital filtering
