i have a Kenwood R5000 i know this unit has the VHF converter fitted.
i think this has had extra filters fitted my reason fir thinking this is the
case is as follows...
on the receiver there is a five position selectivity switch. in the manual
there is a print of the receiver and on this switch the writing next to each
position reads position 1 = auto
" 2 = N
" 3 = M1
" 4 = M2
" 5 = W

somebody has added more numbers next to each position and they now read
Position 1 = auto
" 2 = N 500 has been
added
" 3 = M1 1.8 has been
added
" 4 = M2 2.4 has been
added
" 5 = W 6.0 has been
added

does this mean that the extra filters have been added to this R5000
is there any other way i can tell what filters have been fitted
to this receiver......were are the filters mounted internally in this
receiver

Under the cover! It looks like they have been added, however, they may have also
been removed.

The manual should show you where they are.
