Hi – I found your picture of the Skanti R5001 – but I also see you do not use it any more? I was bidding for one – and won 😉 – I now have to get it – and trim it
Any hints and tips?
Hej Johan, nice to hear from you. I bought my Skanti R5001 in 2012 from Svebry ham shop in Skovde but then I sold it after a few years. The radio was great but “too much” in my house. It’s built for lasting and give reliable service. Before doing any trim, I would suggest a deep cleaning and a check of performance. Maybe it does not need maintenance/retuning. Select a proper speaker and antenna for sure. I’ll send you some papers and schematic by email, maybe it could help you. Enjoy your radio! Ha det bra! Mny 73
