Excellent service from seller. Item was carefully and meticulously packaged. Description was accurate and came with detailed brochures, CD, service and operators manual and much more. Pricing was fair and shipping via Fedex was quick and reasonable within days. Communications with seller was timely and item shipped the following day. I would say this is my best Ebay experience since shopping 1999. Thank you Randy & Pamela. Excellent service. Looking forward to another purchase from you.

This was such an amazingly above and beyond experience. This couple cares a lot about their business and every aspect of the transaction was exceptional. Great communication, fast shipping, protected packaging, and the item was every bit as awesome as described. All kinds of extras included. Quality, care, and attention to detail on everything. I will be looking for reasons to buy from them again!

  • Very good receiver

    I ordered this to check out the ham bands to see if I would be interested in ham radio. I found out that I was and ordered some ham transceivers. This is a high quality receiver and receives on all bands. It gets the all ham bands plus AM-FM and FSK. Very good audio and a quiet receiver. I like it a lot but since I used it for what I wanted to do and bought a transceiver I no longer need it and am going to put it up for sale. For anybody looking for a excellent receiver on all bands this is a very good receiver to buy. I highly recommend the Kenwood R-5000. Greg

  • Kenwood R 5000

    Great radio! So much better then the new plastic case toys they are selling these days. It is a notch bellow my Icom R 75 but look how long ago the Kenwood was built. Solid radio, if you can get one in good condition Grab it! A pleasure to use and has the nice warm glow of it's display like a vintage stereo receiver. Still up to par with today's radios and blows away the plastic Grundig junk.

  • Great receiver, timeless!

    Love the Kenwood R-5000, easy to learn and operate, many upgrades are still available and they are also easy to install yourself. The only issue that I had read about this model was the keyboard bounce problem, which seemed upon first look to occur in all of the units. It turns out that the bounce problem is caused by the electrolytic capacitors drying out, this is widely known, and kits are available for a modest price to replace all of the caps, a fairly tedious process (I was a technician for 7 years before becoming an engineer, now retired). I have only once seen the true cause stated in an opinion piece, and I fully concur: the unit runs very hot when powered by the internal AC power supply, and this excessive heat is detrimental to the longevity of the capacitors. My 5000 has the ...
