How to Convert a Pansat 2500 to a Pansat 2700

The Pansat 2700 is the next-generation C-Band satellite receiver in the Pansat 2000 series line and was made to replace the 2500 model. The 2700 model has a few additional hardware capabilities that the 2500 model lacks, such as 2MB of memory. However, the software that the 2700 model runs can be uploaded to the 2500 model to convert it to the newer model with most of the main firmware improvement features.
