Default Instructions for Kiwa MAP to Kenwood R5000?

Hi Walt,

My MAP's instructions include information for the R-1000 and R-2000, but not
the R-5000. Doesn't the R-5000 have 450 kHz I.F. filtering? If so, 450 kHz
is an I.F. that will not work with the MAP...it's designed for the more
common 455 kHz I.F. path.

Hmm... I just checked on this, and Radio Nederland's review of the R-5000
states:

"Intermediate frequency
Like most receivers in this class, the R-5000 is a double superheterodyne
design. The first intermediate frequency for the R-5000 has been chosen as
58112.5 kHz, the second is 8830 kHz. IF Rejection of these two frequencies
is better than 84 and 65 dB respectively which is good. The image ratio was
measured as better than 90 dB, also good. Only when FM is used does a third
stage at 455 kHz become active. This design is common to other Kenwood
products."

So, the answer is unfortunately, no. The R-5000 will not interface to the
Kiwa MAP.

I have lost my manual, and need the instructions to hook my MAP to my
R5000. Anyone have the instructions?
