I'm also seeing another Kenwood shortwave radio on ebay: R-2000. Any
good?


As with most radios of this type, the antenna is the deciding factor.
Local noise will be also of importance. Tuning is very accurate.

I have the radio and have found it to be great. A built in timer and
record output jack let you tape shows you can't be around for.

Important note: The record out jack is LINE LEVEL not microphone level,
and is mono. One early reviewer panned the R-5000 because the record
output was severely distorted. It turned out he had not read the manual
and tried to put a line level output (0.707 volts) into a microphone
input ( a few milivolts).
