The second hand r5000 that I got last week suffers a bit from the key
problem. So to bypass that problem, and preventing more unnecessary
aggravation of that problem by using the number keys more I decided to
get me the necessary IC's and interface.
Funny, I use the big round thing on the front to change stations,
The only time I use the keys is to change mode.

For One and All,
Here are My Three Reasons to Own a Kenwood R-5000 Receiver :
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kenwoo...0/message/2110
* "The Sound"
* The "Feel-and-Beauty" of it's Tuning
* Plus Solid Performance and Reliability
Yes the Kenwood R-5000 Receiver's Tuning Knob has
'that-feel' to it that makes it enjoyable to Tune
within the Band. Plus there are the 1-MHz-Up and
1-MHz-Down Buttons just to the bottom right of the
Tuning Knob that makes Changing-Bands real easy
and fast. Also using the Memories as the Starting
Points of the Amateur or Shortwave Bands can be
a big help in going Up-and-Down the Bands with the
Buttons and then using the Tuning Knob to Seek-Out
what Out-There on that Band.
I guess I am a Tuning Knob 'person' cause using it
allows me to "Find-What's-Out-There" {DISCOVERY}
vice relying on a pre-programmed Memory or Keying-In
a Specific Frequency to go to a 'known' Station.
About - 80% Tuning Knob -vice- 20% Keys-and-Memory.
This is 'Why' I have kept the Kenwood R-5000 Receiver
over the Years is "The Sound" and the "Feel-and-Beauty"
of it's Tuning; plus Solid Perfromance and Reliability.
My Kenwood R-5000 Receivers have the 'optional'
IF Filters :
* 6 kHz AM Filter
* 2.4 kHz Wide-SSB Filter
* 1.8 kHz Narrow-SSB Filter
http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/ken.../view/b4af?b=9
FWIW - The INRAD 6kHz AM Filter is an 'alternative'
to the 'optional' Kenwood 6 kHz AM Filter that many
Kenwood R-5000 Receiver Owner's like to use.
http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/ken...view/b4af?b=11
IIRC - There is another Kenwood IF Filter that is design
for one of their Transcevers that is Listed as a YK-88S-1
and is a Drop-In for the Kenwood R-5000 Receiver however
it is rated as 2.8 or 3.2 kHz Wide-SSB Filter.
- - - I would like to find one and try it.
? Any One Know {Info Please} about this 'other' YK-88S-1 ?
some say - i would if i could . . .
i simply say 'kenwood' ~ RHF
