'other' Kenwood SSB Filters : YK-88S1 and YK-88S2
 

FO&A,

Has anyone tried the Kenwood YK-88S1 or YK88S2 in a Kenwood R-5000 ?

The normal IF Filters used in the Kenwood R-5000 are the
'stock' YK-88S (2.4 kHz) Wide SSB Filter and the 'optional'
YK-88SN (1.8 kHz) Narrow SSB Filter.

However there seems to be two other Kenwood SSB Filters
that 'appear' to be Drop-In-and-Solder (Size and Wiring)
of the Kenwood R-5000 ? {Now is that True}

* Kenwood YK-88S1 (2.6 kHz)
- Wide SSB IF Filter

* Kenwood YK-88S2 (3.0 kHz)
- Very Wide SSB IF Filter
- Very Narrow AM/MW IF Filter

Any Comments & Opinions ?
