Read the eHam.net reviews where 33 radio users rate the Kenwood R-5000 an outstanding 4.8 out of 5.0 stars.  

 Here is an excerpt from one of the 5 star reviews -

  "Best receiver I have ever used" -

"Bought this radio about ten years ago and since that time I have used and owned a dozen radios and the Kenwood is still the best receiver I have ever used and I have had no problems with it. It has a very low noise floor and the reception is excellent to outstanding on every band and in every mode. The audio is excellent and sounds best with the radios internal speaker even though I have and used the Kenwood external speaker for this radio. If you want a receiver that will allow you to hear hard to hear and very distant signals, this is the radio to buy, it has Benchmark Receiver written all over it!

The 24 HD PHOTOS taken from all angles and 5 HD VIDEOS show the cosmetic and operating condition clearly. 

 Please look over ALL PHOTOS and use the photo enlarger.

I will pack the original Kenwood box with a second NEW sturdy shipping box and additional padding to protect the box and contents (see last photo).
