[Premium-Rx] Upgrading a basic WJ-8718 Series receiver to the MFP version - New Instructions Revision 3 available

[Paolo Viappiani]

Carrara, Italy, March 19, 2019

Hi All:

It is known that a "basic" receiver that belongs to the WJ-8716/8718 Series (including the "A" and all other types) 
can be easily upgraded to the latest "MFP" version if all the needed parts are at hand. In the past a number of 
friends of mine asked me for help on the subject, so I decided to write detailed instructions for a "Two-Step" 
conversion (Step 1: How to upgrade a basic receiver, Step 2: How to convert it to a full "MFP" version).

The "Revision 2" of all the four articles can be found and downloaded at the following addresses:

Recently I finished upgrading all those articles to "Revision 3" and I posted all the new four files, as 
attachments, to the very interesting "Black Radios" Facebook Group created and managed by Terry O' 
(https://www.facebook.com/groups/174047703539572/).

So if anyone is interested in reading the latest versions I wrote, he can find and download them at the following 
addresses:

Please notice that most of the needed parts - if not all - have been available on the Internet until recently and 
from time to time something useful appears on the well-known auction site.

About the "not-MFP" U1 and the "MFP" U1 and U2 EEPROMS that are required, I saved copies of various versions of 

their sofware and I will send for free as e-mail attachments upon request, my only purposes are to share information 
on W-J receivers and to be of any help for as many people as possible.  
Comments and critics on my work are very welcome, please do not hesitate to contact me should you need help or 
further details on the specific matter.
Any comment or advice request can be sent to my e-mail address: pviappiani at tin.it

Best regards, 73!
