A great receiver purchased it originally in early 90’s new and still going strong. It now sits next to my latest, the FTDX101D. Great video 73!

hi Rob pretty nice receiver, I like mine a lot, too. 😇 Is your mentioned 4kHz IF filter in your rig the one from INRAD? What is your cascaded filter chain: the old simple broad 6kHz leaved in >>> next the 4kHz x-tal INRAD >>> next the 2,4kHz ? Or have you swapped one-to-one the simple broad filter with the x-tal 4kHz one? (there is no picture with the new AM Filter inside) 73

He did a 4 or 5 part series on youtube when he reconditioned his rig a few years back. He swapped out the original plug in 6kHz with a 4 kHz plug in from Inrad. When I did mine, I put in the better 6kHz plug in from Kenwood, removed the SSB filter from it's position and relocated it to the "Narrow" SSB pad, and put the 4 kHz Inrad solder- in filter on the now empty SSB pad, and installed a Kenwood CW filter on it's dedicated pad.

As @SSN515, I took out the old 6kHz plug-in and put the 4kHz in its place. Simple job. There are multiple combinations that can be used here. Thanks for checking out the video.

@@RobVK3BVW You're welcome, I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for your answere, Rob, What I'm interested in is whether the cheap wide filter has also remained in the IF path 😉 Indeed, there are multiple combinations

@@SSN515 Thank you for your comprehensive answere. 😎 My Kenny was cannibalized and the filter robbed by the preowner. There was only the bad AM Filter left. I found one and put in the better YK-88A1 (6 kHz) AM filter, followed by an 4kHz, followed by an wide SSB filter (which I had as a spare part for my Kenny R820), followed by a narrow SSB filter which I found o eBay. It's a pretty good DX rig. Fantastic audio with the cascaded 6 + 4 kHz filters in AM.

@@nixraff7802 OK. I threw away the original 6 kHz filter when I found the 4 kHz plug-in filter worked so well. Some guys will prefer the better 6 kHz filter for listening, I found the 4 kHz filter worked for for me. It's personal preference. Good luck with your receiver.

@@RobVK3BVW Hi again and thanks for the response back . Yes because the owner didn't know to much and i keep it and restored most of it and is back working just needs a realignment. And doo to lak of test equipment's is just the voltages are aligned correctly ( according to the service manual ) i managed to get all the filters and the 2 meter band converter . I am going to do the recapping and to 'upgrade' the cooling aluminium at the power supply . I am going to keep you updated Kind regards Rob ( my name is Robert and the short version is Rob )
