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
fm is fixed at 12hz.
i am looking to sell this receiver its in 100%working order.
the condition is ok has a few marks nothing serious....
serious offers taken on this receiver..

The YK-88C is the 500 Hz CW filter, and the YK-88SN is the 1.8 kHz filter, the
2.4 kHz and the 6 kHz were standard equipment in the radio as I recall.

The 5000 is a pretty nice sounding radio. I had one for several years.

As an additional thought, what I did when I got the radio was to swap out the
stock 6 kHz filter for a better aftermarket one that had better skirt selectivity.
The original is just a bit broad at 60 dB down. Cleaned things up quite nicely.

Kenwood had an improved 6 Hz filter available right from the start (YK88A1)
and many buyers of the receiver upgraded to this filter at the time of
purchase. My 'stock' (poor) 6KHz am filter still sits in the box that the
good YK88A1 came packaged in. I don't know why I save it as it was awful.

i have a few receivers hear i use my newest is a new version of
the AOR AR5000A+3 i also have the matching SDU5600 FFT Display unit.....this
takes pride of place in my radio room..... i also have the Kenwood R5000.
i also have an icom IC-R7000. i had two IC-R7000 ,s but i sold one of them a
couple of weeks ago for £280..
the IC-R7000 still fetch a very good price...
i am not sure was there two versions of the IC-R7000 as the one i still
have. the writing were it says ICOM IC-R7000 communications receiver the
writing is smaller on this one than it was on the other one i sold....do you
think this could be a later model......
i have a few other receivers i have collected over the years but not sure
exactly what they are its years since i had them out they are well stored to
protect them.....i will get them out one day when i have time spare....

I don't know about the '7000 issue. You might want to try a check on
rec.radio.swap or perhaps contact Universal Radio, Fred Osterman might be able
to answer that question for you as to which one is the later model.

That spectrum display unit sounds nice, would be especially useful for utility
monitoring.
