If you are the owner of any number of Kenwood units such as the R-5000 receiver or TS-440S, TS-940SS, TS-711A, TS-811A, or TM-2550A transceivers, then you may find this VS-1 unit to be helpful. There may be other Kenwood units that this will work in, but we ask that you refer to your manual for verification. For most people, having verbal announcement of frequency is unnecessary. But for others, having this VS-1 is a lifesaver should you have a defective display or have a visual impairment. The frequency is announced covering the entire frequency on the display and there is a choice of English / Japanese language and the ability to control the volume of the announcement.Installation of the module in the R-5000 is rather easy requiring no soldering and only a little time to remove the covers from the unit, connect a couple of cables, and then fasten into place using the 2 supplied screws. Installation should take approximately 1/2 hour and is not technical. Information regarding installation is found on page 102 of the service manual.Please use the Ebay shipping calculator to determine your shipping cost. This cost includes proper packing materials for safe delivery and insurance cost against damage or loss.Those buyers living outside the USA are also welcome to purchase from us. We have shipped to 111 countries during the past 24 years on Ebay and we are happy to ship virtually anywhere in the world. You may use the shipping calculator to determine your shipping cost.Please keep in mind that this cost may not include any import, customs, or VAT fees. If you are uncertain of these costs, we ask you to check with your local post office prior to making a purchase from us. Thank you!
