It's been a while since I added a DC adapter to an R-5000. However, I believe the receiver plug, internal connectors and 12v cord came as a kit. The receiver components were installed by removing a small plate on the receiver back. If the plug is there but there are no connectors to the receiver board it means 1 of 2 things. Either the connectors were snipped off, or the guts from one radio were married to the case of another. That does not describe a pristine radio. |

"Dxace1" your auction is now somewhat more informative. A picture of the boxes for the Kenwood YK88a1 AM and an aftermarket Vertex CW filter does help. So the potential bidder can guess a bit and assume the wide position has the Kenwood AM filter, the second position is still occupied by the standard Kenwood narrow filter, the third position is empty and the fourth position is occupied by the Vertex CW filter. But a simple statement saying which filters are installed in which positions would clarify things. And apparently the 12 volt plug was added to the back of the receiver. It is not clear whether the internal cable with the 3 pin connector is dangling loose within the receiver or simply missing. Because you talk about "wiring some sort of DC capability" it makes the reader wonder whether the internal wiring is there or not. I note that the Buy It Now price was dropped, thereby bringing price down to a realistic level of $399. |

If it is listed with a minimum bid of $400, if I bid $400 and was the only bidder, will I get the radio? If not, IMHO that's false advertising. Since there is a hidden reserve, you can't read his ad and determine the price. What if you went into a store and they had the same deal? His ad states that you can bid $400 and have a chance of owning the radio, which is not true. I know it's an eBay standard. But is it legal? Someone in the U.S. should complain to the Federal Trade Commission, and the consumer action groups. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

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.
