Kenwood R5000 Filter advice
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 Hope somebody can advise me...... |

It looks like they have been added, however, they may have also been removed. The manual should show you where they are. dxAce Michigan USA |

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. dxAce Michigan USA |

The original is just a bit broad at 60 dB down. Cleaned things up quite nicely. dxAce Michigan USA |

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. dxAce Michigan USA |

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. -- Brian Denley http://home.comcast.net/~b.denley/index.html |

John--How much are you asking for the R5000 with its options?
Tnx.
