The new BIN price, which is probably also the reserve price is still
too high. Looks like an early retirement plan has been put on hold.


A bit of advice: Worry more about YOUR retirement plan, than that of others!


The comment of course has nothing to do with a retirement plan, but is
a way of pointing out that "DXACE1" is looking for an unrealistic
price. A VHF adapter with such limited coverage really adds litle to
the value.

Roadie,

FYI- The Kenwood VC-20 VHF Converter is
a hard-to-find and sought-after Accessory for
some Kenwood R-5000 Receiver owners.

To the extent that some of the Kenwood VC-20
VHF Converters have sold for $200+ on eBay.

Also some 'like new' Kenwood R-5000 Receivers
with the original Box have sold for $500+ on eBay.

Plus the Kenwood YK88A-1 6kHz AM Filter usually
goes for $100 on eBay.

$200+ Kenwood VC-20 VHF Converter
$500+ Kenwood R-5000 Receiver
$100+ Kenwood YK88A-1 6kHz AM Filter
---------
$800+ All-in-One-Package - Priceless ! )
