I have an R-5000 which works great. However I'm wondering from others
who own or have owned an R-5000 if you're gets hot? After being on for
hours mine gets so hot you "almost" can't hold your hand on the top
cover. Mine has done this for years and hasn't yet affected the
receive performance but just wondering if this normal.

My other HF rigs don't get hot (JRC NRD-525, Yaesu FT-847, RadioShack
DX-394 or Kenwood TS-520) all of which are one 12-20 hours a day.....

I owned a R-5000 for several years and it did not get that hot.

I wouldn't say hot either but it does get warm.
