- Back when I got into shortwave radio during the mid 1990's
- I always wanted a Kenwood R-5000.
-
- Well, after buying two great portables, a Grundig Yacht Boy 400
- and the famous Sony ICF-2010, I never went after a Kenwood.
-
- Anyway, I stopped listening to shortwave four or five years ago.
- Now I noticed that Kenwood radios are discontinued and are
- popping up on e-bay.
-
- So, are Kenwood radios worth going after for shortwave?
- And will they let me pick up the small stations in Africa
- that I could never get with my portables?
-
- Thanks!
