Need Info on the YK-88S2 IF Filter ? -for- Kenwood R-5000 Receiver
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kenwood-r5000/message/2115
Also may Want-to-Buy [WTB] a YK-88S2 IF Filter -so-
Does Anyone Have a YK-88S2 IF Filter : For Sale ?
Background : There is another Kenwood IF Filter that
is design for one or more of the Kenwood Transcevers
that is Listed as a YK-88S2.
The YK-88S2 is a standard "Can" Solder-In type Filter
and -only- and needs to be mounted on the Dash-One (-1)
"Plug-In" Filter Circuit Boards used by Kenwood in some
of their Transcivers and the R-5000 Receiver.
The YK-88S2 Filter can be used by swapped-it-out with
an existing Filter that is mounted on the Circuit Board
of the Drop-In Filter for the Kenwood R-5000 Receiver.
IIRC - The YK-88S2 is designed to work on 8.83 MHz and
has the same size and circuit characteristis as the
other Filters designed for the Kenwood R-5000 Receiver.
Reference Link/URL for the YK-88S2 Filter
http://jg1xlv.jp-au.net/yk88s2.htm
My reading of the Numbers for the YK-88S2 Filter :
The -6 dB Bandwidth would be 3 kHz (2x1.5)
The -20 dB Bandwidth would be 3.8 kHz (2x1.9)
The -60 dB Bandwidth would be 5.5 kHz (2x2.75)
http://jg1xlv.jp-au.net/yk88s2-spec.htm
Now comparison this to the KY-88A-1 Filter
The -6 dB Bandwidth would be 6.0 kHz
The -20 dB Bandwidth would be ?.? kHz
The -60 dB Bandwidth would be 11 kHz
My Conclusion is that the Kenwood YK-88S2 (3.0 kHz)
would appear to be usable as a Very-Wide SSB IF Filter
-and/or- a Very-Narrow AM/MW IF Filter
http://jg1xlv.jp-au.net/yk88s2-spec.htm
The reason for this posting is -if- the Standard Solder-in
IF Filter Board Mounted of the Kenwood R-5000 Receiver
will take a Kenwood YK-88S2 IF Filter : It should -but-
has anyone had a problem ? ? ? ? ?
=IF= The Kenwood YK-88S2 IF Filter is a Drop-in-Fit
-then- I would like to configure a Kenwood R-5000
Receiver with the following Filters :
1st IF Filter = YK88-A1 - AM 6 kHz for Wide AM
2nd IF Filter = YK88S2 - AM 3 kHz for Narrow AM
3rd IF Filter = YK88S-1 - SSB 2.4 kHz for Very Narrow AM
This Receiver would be "Set-Up" specifically for Shortwave
Radio Broadcast Program Listening and not for Amateur
Radio SSB Reception.
Once Again - Two Questions :
# 1 - Has anyone any more information on the Kenwood
{ Trio } YK88S2 IF Filter ?
# 2 - Has anyone any used the Kenwood { Trio } YK88S2
IF Filter in any Rigs ?
some say - i would if i could . . .
-while- i simply say 'kenwood' ~ RHF

Road Umpqua OR for a reasonable price. I tried the more conventional sources
such PartsStore.com but even though they listed the filters they were
discontinued.
The old radios from the late 80s through the mid-90s are hard to get parts
for sometimes.
The only draw back to ones from International were they were not direct
replacement, they were mounted pn a circuit board mounted to my IF board
with some double sticky foam tape. The orignal filters were hard to find
without buying them off eBay as a used item for a premium price.
Good luck, the filter do make a big difference, my Kenwood is used as a
beater radio for our club Field Day and other outdoor events. The operators
last year raved at how clear the SSB signals were over the previous FD.

If I was you RHF I would stick to the off topic political nonsense
threads. You can't go wrong there.

The R-5000 has four filter slots with designated R5000 filters giving
6khz (YK88a optional), 4khz (YK88S), 1.8khz (YK88SN optional) and CW
(two filters available).
YK88S2 might make sense in filter position 2 if it fits and if a
really narrow AM filter was needed. YK88S1 would appear to largely
duplicate the YK88SN filter and I doubt any noticable benefit would be
gained in that swap.
I've got the full complement of optional R5000 filters and find them
to be a good mix of widths. Nice to see that something else is
available though.

? 4khz (YK88S) ? -isn't- the YK-88S a 2.4 kHz ?

Yes, you are right...meant to type 2.4 but only the 4 got transferred
to screen.

My old TS430 had the solder-in filters. The newer TS-690 (450) has
plug-in filters. I understood that the only difference between older
and newer YK-88 series filters was the circuit board, denoted by the -1
suffix.
So, if you need a solder-in YK-88SN for example, you should be able to
unsolder the filter from the YK-88SN-1 circuit board and use that. Are
there some matching components on the circuit board that I missed?
