Mount Evelyn DX Report: RESTORING THE KENWOOD R-5000 RECEIVER

RESTORING THE KENWOOD R-5000 RECEIVER

Part 5

You may remember I picked up this old Kenwood R-5000 at a local Hamfest over a year ago. Fairly early on, I noticed that the frequency readout was a little out - around 35 Hz to the low side. Not really a major issue, but certainly something that could be fixed with a little time and patience. And one of the great things about this vintage Kenwood rig is that it's relatively easy to get inside the case and service it.

The following video demonstrates the process I used to make a small adjustment to the calibration of the rig.
