You pretty much nailed it. In practical terms, the differences
between R-5000 and R-71 were matters of taste. Performance was about
equivalent, each with as many plusses as the other, each with as many
minuses as the other. If you were fluent in each one, they were the
same radio on the desk.





I love my R-5000 but that's got to be the worst keypad ever designed and
it bounces like crazy.

I cleaned the contacts on a R-5000 I sold. Worked great. It wasn't that
hard. The funny thing is the 5000 I've had for twelve years has never had
key bounce but I never use it anyway because RxPlus comp control is how I
enter freqs.
