When I tried to make recordings off the R5000 to a cassette recorder years
ago, the result was often somewhat distorted. Now I know why! I'll try out
an attenuator plug this weekend, when I'm hoping to have a chance to set
this up.

I never had a problem when using a recorder with the R5000. But, I was using
cassette recorders which had/have an AUX input.

My favourite one is the Radio Shack CTR-66 which is no longer made, but is
available on eBay from time to time.

I also like the CTR-37, also no longer made, but available on eBay.

I have several of each.

I used to do a lot of DX'ing via setting the timer on the receiver so that I
didn't have to get up at early hours in the morning. I'd simply review my tape
the next day, and if I didn't get good results I'd simply do it again.
