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.

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.
