The noise blanker and noise reduction also work well. The upper or lower will give you better performance than the dual. The sync detector works well and maintains the lock, you can select to sync on the upper, the lower or dual sidebands.
#ICOM R8500 REVIEW MANUAL#
The receiver itself is not hard to learn BUT READ THE OWNERS MANUAL and read it a few times. There have been reviews that this receiver runs hot, but after mine was on for 4 hours, the back lower side of the case got no hotter than 87 degrees according to my digital thermometer and I'm using the 55NS power supply that runs at 15V. The audio is nice and clean, but it is even better going through a stand-alone speaker or power computer speaker. The touch screen is nice, clear and sharp with crisp clear color and no visual distortion. The receiver was dead on frequency across the whole spectrum, so great alignment. You can get a matching speaker with built-in power supply, or use your own. I also think the basic AD-55NS power supply should be included with the radio for the price. So, I will give my honest view and opinion of this receiver.įirst off it is expensive, but I feel it is worth the price. The Icom IC-R8600 gives me the best of both worlds.
#ICOM R8500 REVIEW PC#
I have been using SDR receivers with my PC for 2 years now, but I like a tabletop. My last new tabletop was the Drake R8 back in Fall 1991, so I figured it was time. I have been an avid Shortwave listener since 1983 when I was 15 years old. Why not own a communications receiver based on that very same success? Order an ICOM IC-R8600 Communications Receiver for your SWL or Amateur Radio operations! ICOM's IC-7300 transceiver is renowned for its superior SDR receiver technology. Note: Please look at the associated files under the "Documentation" tab for additional product information, including an instruction manual. * 10 MHz Reference Frequency Input/Output * MUTE Input Jack- Use your R8600 with your favorite transmitter! * RCA Antenna Connector (500 ohms- for long wire antennas, etc.) * Optional SP-39AD external speaker with integrated receiver power supply * SD card slot for received log, decode log and voice recording * Clear audio quality using FPGA/DSP base architecture with Superheterodyne circuitry
#ICOM R8500 REVIEW SOFTWARE#

Here is some additional Information for ICOM's IC-R8600 Wideband Communications Receiver with Multiple Digital-Mode Decoders: Of course, this is easily achieved by using Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology. The received signal is processed to be demodulated according to the receive mode, including not only conventional analog communications in CW, AM, SSB, FM, WFM and FSK, but also advanced digital communications such as D-STAR, P25, NXDN, dPMR and DCR. The IF signal is sent to the A/D converter, resulting in a digital signal, which is then processed by a high-speed FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and DSP to be restored to an analog audio signal. While ordinary wide band receivers need to have dedicated demodulator circuits for each receive mode, the IC-R8600 utilizes advanced digital processes that demodulate the incoming signals. Why a Next-Generation, World-Class Receiver? ICOM IC-R8600 Communications Receivers represent the Next-Generation in World-Class Receivers! And the next step in SDR evolution! This model is the cellular blocked version also known as IC-R8600-02 Product Line: ICOM IC-R8600 Communications Receivers
