This page shows how to install the IFace in the Kenwood R-5000. Being a receiver we will not have to use the PTT signal, so the installation will be even easier.
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. The one described here is the sequence of operations to be performed to obtain the signal to be sent to the external SDR receiver and shows where to connect the power and signal pickup wires.
The following images show the block diagram of the radio and the point where to take the IF signal.
Let’s analyze the wiring diagram to find the exact point where to take the IF signal and the power supply for IFace.
The following image shows where the signals relative to the IF and to the supply voltage are located.
This last image helps to identify the points where to take the IF and the power supply.
With the coaxial coaxial cable supplied in the kit, the IF signal goes from the IFace to the external SDR receiver.
