Default Kenwood R-5000 Shortwave Recievers - Any Good?

I have the radio and have found it to be great. A built in timer and
record output jack let you tape shows you can't be around for.


Important note: The record out jack is LINE LEVEL not microphone level,
and is mono. One early reviewer panned the R-5000 because the record
output was severely distorted. It turned out he had not read the manual
and tried to put a line level output (0.707 volts) into a microphone
input ( a few milivolts).
