Charlie Tango DX is a group dedicated to Hobby Radio Users in all forms, whether CB, Amateur, PMR446, Scanning and Short Wave Listening.
We are a very active and friendly group that welcomes anyone from anywhere in the world who has an interest in Radio, regardless of their level of experience, their equipment, their location, or their radio preference.

The CT Site contains many reviews, tips and modifications within the forums, and we take pride that no sensible question is ever left unanswered, and nobody is ever belittled or mocked for asking an honest question, no matter how simple it may seem. We were all new to the hobby once.

An R5000 dosnt have a mic socket or a built in ATU. ;)

That is slightly rusty mind, Maybe a squirt of WD40 in the switches is also needed.

I realise that the R5000 doesn't have a mic socket, but it does have a phones and a line out, which when I looked I could only make out two sockets, not what they were.

The front panel is just like the R5000 sat on my desk, but I have never had the lid off, so couldn't say what the inside is like.

On the far right is the auto ATU ... Hence a TS-440S-AT... :) You also dont get a auto ATU with a reciever...

The R-5000 also doesnt have the BIG heatsink on the rear as it has no Power amplifier to generate that kind of heat that would warrant a BIG heatsink.


Deduction my dear Watson ;)

Like I said, I have never had the top off mine (R5000), so know not what the inside is like.

As for heat, it does get rather hot over time when in use.
