the cover off, it was more than obvious. I wonder how many R5000's
failed due to one of those regs cooking itself to death.
I haven't heard of one. The receiver has been around since 1987 so I
would assume that stories of R5000 receivers burning up from "super
heat" would be all over the net by now. How many failures have you
read of that are traceable to overheating. Indeed how many of those
receivers have failed for any reason. Not many in my experience.
Dont know either, but I know mine ran HOT. And just for the lost energy
alone it was enough for me to decide and buy an external 13,8v supply.
Now I can safely put something on top of the rx again (like a logbook or
guide) without having to worry about all that heat...

And I've owned stereos that put out some heat but ran for years. The
real question is whether Kenwood engineers considered the heat in the
radio design. Given the radio's excellent design, high performance
and record of reliability I suspect they did. The radio was well
vented so the heat was dissipated.- Hide quoted text -

Roadie,
Some peope who own the Kenwood R-5000 Receiver
have reported 'internal' Component Failures that they
reasonably believed were caused by the Receiver
Running HOT ! - - - IIRC usually these Failures were
"Fails to Power-On" and 'The Fix' was the replacement
of Components in the 'built-in' AC-to-DC Power Supply.
But - The vast majority of Kenwood R-5000 Receiver
Owners/Users have had many years of Trouble-Free
Operation of the Receiver all the time while the Receiver
was Running HOT ! - By Design -is- not necessarily a
design flaw.
QUESTION - Are you 'interested' in the Kenwood R-5000
(R5000) Communications Receiver ?
? Want-to-know-more-about-the-Kewnwood-R-5000 ?

Already a member, thanks. It's one of the more informative Yahoo
groups. I've tried unsuccessfully several times to join the 2100/2200
group. Each time it gets into an endless loop of asking me to verfy
the email address. Any ideas?- Hide quoted text -
