R5000.1 Following is a list of modifications for the Kenwood R-5000 general coverage shortwave receiver, which I recently submitted to the MODS Database. -- Eric Roskos Kenwood R5000 Modification Notes By E. Roskos The following describes some option jumpers and other features I have found in the Kenwood R-5000 receiver. The R5000 is fairly delicate internally, so you should not undertake these modifications if you are not fairly confident of your ability to work with delicate electronics (or to repair it if necessary). In particular, the receiver's numerous circuit boards are connected together with wire harnesses made of relatively fine and delicate wires. Also, some of the boards (particularly the IF board) have small "daughter boards" containing small surface mount parts vertically attached to the main board. These are also fairly fragile, and caution is required in handling them.
