Kenwood R-1000 (Source: Universal Radio)<\/p><\/div>\n

My buddy, Dave Zantow (N9EWO), has apprised me of a new review he has published of the classic Kenwood R-1000\u00a0receiver. Dave comments that\u00a0he doesn’t normally review\u00a0discontinued sets anymore, but he made an exception for\u00a0the R-1000 as it\u00a0“was so unique\/good and still is to this day.”<\/p>\n
