hard to findKenwoodVC-20 VHF Converter.http://cgi.ebay.com/_W0QQitemZ270159086992
But currently there is anotherKenwoodR-5000Receiver
also with the hard to findKenwoodVC-20 VHF Converter
on eBay at this time too . . .
Plus there are two moreKenwoodR-5000Receivers
listed on eBay at this time also.

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.- Hide quoted text -

Roadie,
Seller states "the reserve on this had to be set
at what I consider to be a more than reasonable
level ABOVE $600."
Open Bid $400 Reserve Price $600+ BIN $800
The math is more likely: Open bid = $400 BIN Price $800 = Reserve
price
If his new reserve price is $800 that would certainly be ABOVE $600
But the point is still that a Kenwood R5000 with an extremely limited
coverage VHF adaptor is not worth much more than the price of the
receiver with the optional AM wide filter installed.

Roadie,
FYI - The Winning Bid was $629 by W4EKU - Who
also had one higher bId that did not get exceeded.
Interestingly enough the prior Auction Listing for
this Kenwood R-5000 Receiver closed at $610
with NO Sale.
It closed at no sale because of the reserve. I'm truly puzzled at the
attention given the VHF converter. Not that it isn't a good quality
unit, but that the coverage is so incredibly limited.
Equally odd is pricing for the so-called Stereo Kenwood receiver.
As a long-time R5000 owner I'm glad to see these prices.

IPA 90 and Raison d' Etre are a good way to wind up a summer season.
