i have listed my Kenwood R5000 on ebay follow this link...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...e=STRK:MESE:IT

the reserve price is set for £250 on the Kenwood as i think this is quite a
fair price considering Radio World are selling the very same receiver for
£600 with the VC20 VHF converter fitted the R5000 has the filter as well
fitted so my reserve price is cheap at the price...
have a bid if your interested....

the filters are there large silver filters i can see it on the main board
when the cover is removed......
and also when i use various modes and turn the selectivity switch the tone
changes. in the manual it says that the following filters are fitted
YK-88C
and YK-88SN...these various setting are for usb / lsb / cw / fsk / am /
and

i have a Kenwood R5000 i know this unit has the VHF converter fitted.
i think this has had extra filters fitted my reason fir thinking this
is
the
case is as follows...
on the receiver there is a five position selectivity switch. in the
manual
there is a print of the receiver and on this switch the writing next to
each
position reads position 1 = auto
" 2 = N
" 3 = M1
" 4 = M2
" 5 = W

somebody has added more numbers next to each position and they now read
Position 1 = auto
" 2 = N 500 has
been
added
" 3 = M1 1.8 has
been
added
" 4 = M2 2.4 has
been
added
" 5 = W 6.0 has
been
added

does this mean that the extra filters have been added to this R5000
is there any other way i can tell what filters have been fitted
to this receiver......were are the filters mounted internally in this
receiver

Under the cover! It looks like they have been added, however, they may
have also
been removed.

The manual should show you where they are.

:) Good one.

Hi Brian
since ebay put the function were by a person could watch an
item. i find the amount of people who actually place a bid has dropped
quite a lot on the Kenwood i had 27 people watching the auction..
and no bids were place. since i added that i was going to end the auction
if no bids were placed. a couple of bids were placed on the Kenwood to the
value of £196.00. and last night. somebody used the buy it now on the
Kenwood and it sold for my asking price of £280.00
so this buyer has got him self a good deal as radioworld are selling a
Kenwood R5000 for £600 with the converter......
now all i need to do is sell the ICOM IC-R7000 but this will sell no
problems as i sold one IC-R7000 a couple of weeks ago for £280.
and this one is in much better condition...

Thanks: Brian
