To check for Y2K just see if you can scroll the date up to the year 2000. To add a different receiver you will plug it into a plug behind the panel outside the cab on the right side. We've been having some good results using $200 Garmin receivers for yield mapping. The card you need will be 1 mb SRAM cards. You can still get them from Envoy data. You can also get a card reader from them. The problems I have had with them is trying to read them in a laptop with anything newer than windows 98.

I went through this last year when I traded combines. I took the old receiver off and traded it in for a case_trimble dual receiver, it cost 4500 CDN (3000 USF) to upgrade. I installed it myself, not a big deal. I also upgraded my computer to a desktop pentium 3 and transfered my old reader. But after many hours of trying to get it to work it had to be returned because the new motherboards will not support the readers Then I bought a new laptop because it has the PCMCIA slot built in, but it would not work because it had the millenium operating system, so we wiped that off and installed windows 98 and now it works fine. One way of finding out if it had the chip upgrade in the moniter is when you turn it on the first thing the screen should show is 6.02A-C I hope this helps
