Let's say you want to add the following filters to the R-5000: YK-88SN *Narrow Sideband YK-88C * 500 Hz CW YK-88CN *250 Hz CW YK-88A1 * AM Filter Where would you install the 88C and 88 CN, as the instruction manual shows the installation of EITHER 88C OR 88CN. *Is it possible to install both? *If so, where would you put them? Also, are the 88SN and 88A1 worth the cost, do they materially improve selectivity? * Anyone having hands on experience with these filters could you please advise me? Thanks for your help. Jim Frankly Jim, I wouldn't spend a cent on upgrading the R5000. Even with the better filters it'performence is so far behind modern DSP radio's that I wouldn't waste my money. I had an R5000 with the upgraded filters for a couple of years - it never performed very well and after the keyboard started bouncing for the second time, I got rid of it. If you want top notch CW performance you couldn't beat an Icom IC-746Pro - it's CW filtering is awesome. I'm sure there are some good ones on eBay.
