The R-5000 uses different intermediate frequencies depending on the band on which it is operating (HF or VHF) but there is a common one, 58.1125 MHz.

Being a receiver we will not have to use the PTT signal, so the installation will be even easier. This page shows how to install the IFace in the Kenwood R-5000. In order to buy one or more IFace please use the following buttons. It will not be difficult to make the required small welds, space is not lacking. The following images show where to take the various signals.īelow is shown the card affected by the mods. From the following images everything will appear clear.Īt this point we have to locate the points where we connect the electric cables to the IFace. We have to find the first mixer, the PTT and where to take the power supply. Let’s start by analyzing the wiring diagram. The following images show the point where the IF signal will be taken. The one described here is therefore the sequence of operations to be performed to obtain a bandwidth sufficient to make a panoramic receiver around the selected IF frequency. We are interested in the first, the “wide band” one, the first one of the main band pass filter (the roofing filter so to speak). The IC-746PRO, as well as other radios, has a fairly complex configuration and uses different intermediate frequencies. These are the instructions to install the IFace interface inside of the Icom IC-746PRO.
