The Icom IC-R8600-02 wideband communications receiver raises the bar on sophisticated radio monitoring. This ground breaking receiver made its world debut at the Tokyo Ham Fair on August 19, 2016. The IC-R8600 covers 10 kHz to 3000 MHz (less cellular) in AM, USB, LSB, CW, FM and decodes multiple digital protocols, including Baudot RTTY, D-STAR™, NXDN™, dPMR™, DCR (Digital Communication Radio) and APCO P25. It has a large 4.3 inch color TFT touch screen display with fast spectrum scope and waterfall display. The advance circuit employs modern FPGA/DSP base SDR architecture (under 30 MHz) and traditional superheterodyne circuitry. Superb receive performance is achieved by 11 discrete RF bandpass filters in the HF bands and 13 bandpass filters in the VHF/UHF bands. To prevent overflow, only the intended signal is passed, while any out of range strong interference signals are rejected. The IC-R8600 provides +30 dBm IP3 and 105 dB dynamic range at 14.1 MHz. IP3 performance is +10 dBm at 144 MHz and 0 dBm at 440 MHz. The commercial meter shows S-meter, dBµ, dBµ (emf) and dBm meter types in the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator). The dBµ, dBµ (emf) and dBm meter has a high ±3 dB accuracy between 0.5–1100 MHz (<±6 dB between 1100–3000 MHz) that can be used for measuring signal strength level.
2000 memories (in 100 groups) are available storing frequency, mode, tone, step, etc. Optional RS-R8600 PC remote control software allows control of all receiver functions. There is a convenient SD card slot for the received log, decode log and voice recording. Other refinements include: Sleep timer function (5 to 120 minutes in 5 minute steps), Attenuator, Center tune indicator (FM/WFM/each digital mode), Digital AFC, Tone control (HPF/LPF, BASS/TREBLE, De-Emphasis), Noise Blanker, Speech function (Japanese/English), Dial tension adjust, Auto TS function, Main dial & panel lock functions, S-AM (AM synchronous detection mode) and Multiple digital squelch settings.
The rear panel features: 10.7 MHz IF Output, LAN Port, Mute Line, Reference I/O, I/Q output, External speaker jack, AF/IF output, CI-V remote terminal, USB port, DC power Input jack, S meter output jack, Aux., three antenna jacks (N/SO239/RCA) and ground terminal. The I/Q signal output supports use with third-party SDR software and/or external decoding.
This radio comes with: fused DC power cord (9.8 feet), spare fuse, DC power short connector, three 3.5mm audio plugs, two RCA plugs, spare blade fuse (3Amp/32V), two spare glass fuses (3A/125V). The IC-R8600 is a 12 VDC device and requires a power supply for AC use.
Operational reminders ...
Be sure to insert the supplied 'short connector' into the radio's rear panel if using Icom's AD-55NS or SP-39AD.
Do not accidentally try to insert a PL-259 connector into 'Antenna Jack 1'. (This is an 'N' jack). See item #3076.
Rob, KD9INB reports: 'Had to turn the connection power to 'Off' in the software setting AND also in the rig, and also had to set the CI-V port in the rig from'Unlinked' to 'Linked'. Made sure the baud rate setting in the rig and software matched and viola! The Icom IC-746 covers 160-10 meters plus 6 and 2 meters. 100 Watts of output is available on all bands - HF, 50 MHz and 144 MHz, making the IC-746 a practical choice for all-around base station use. The die-cast aluminum chassis and a large cooling fan help to stabilize the PA circuit, providing 100% full duty cycle operation.
The Icom IC-R8600-04 GOVT unblocked version can be purchased by the Federalgovernment or for export only.
This special order government version is not available via on-line ordering. Please call and ask for Government Sales.

Rig Interface Help
The following is the essential information you'll need to get your rig interface connected, up and running with AC Log and my contesting software.
To get started with rig interface, you'll need the necessary interface hardware to connect your rig to your PC. Many modern rigs now connect directly to your PC with a simple USB cable. Check the CAT control section of your radio's manual for more details.
Here is a video that young Faith Hannah, AE4FH put together, demonstrating how to interface an Icom 7300 with my software:
To interface your rig with my software, once you have the necessary hardware connected between your radio and PC, configure the rig interface form as follows:
1. For Select Rig, select the rig you are interfacing. For most rigs, simply selecting the correct rig will also accurately set your baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits and polling string!
Icom Users Only! If you select Icom, you will also see text appear, asking you to change the rig ID (64 by default, which happens to be for the 756 Pro II) to the ID for your rig (the red lines in the graphic above). You should be able to find your rig ID in your manual's CAT control section. If there is a small h, such as 64h, ignore it and just enter the two digit number. I've also included all the successful settings I've received from other users below, which include the rig ID.
2. For Com Port, select the com port that you have your rig connected to. Even if only one port is listed, you still have to click on the port to select it.
3. For Connection Power, select the power option, if any, that your interface requires. Most use RTS, some use DTR and some do not require a power option at all.
Ready to Go!
If you have entered your settings correctly, you should be all set to enable rig interface. To give it a try...
4. Click Test to begin polling your rig. If both frequency and mode appear, you are all set! The software will follow your frequency, (and band provided you are in the limits of an Amateur band) and mode. In addition, when you click on a DX spot from the main form, your rig will tune right to that frequency!
In Case of Difficulty - Don't Panic!
If for some reason you don't get a response from your rig, there are a number of possible causes:
First, make sure that your rig is on and that your rig interface hardware is properly connected to BOTH your radio AND your PC.
Make sure that you have selected the correct Com Port.
Make sure you have selected the correct Connection Power for your interface.
In some cases, certain rigs use settings other than the defaults. Take a look at all the following successful settings sent in by other users below and correct your settings as necessary.
This is an Adsense Advertisement, not a download link for my software.
Successful Rig Settings!
Icom Ci-v Software
The following are working, successful settings that other users were kind enough to send along. Note that the Com Port and power option will depend on your PC and interface, so those two settings may be different than the settings listed below.
If you try these settings for your rig without success, something rig or interface hardware specific is likely at play. Since I only have a Kenwood TS 440s an Icom 756 Pro II and Icom 7610 here, I will not be able to provide further assistance for any other rig or interface. If you are unable to get your rig going after trying the settings below, please feel free to search the message archives on the Users group or post a question there. It's likely that someone with a similar rig and interface will be able to help.
If you have settings for a rig not listed below, I would be very grateful if you would send them along, by clicking the Copy Data to Clipboard button while polling your rig and pasting the contents into an e-mail!

Yaesu 847
Note - Some, but not all Yaesu 847 users were having trouble interfacing with the new, C#.NET versions of my software. This problem has been corrected in rig interface verion 1.3 and later by sending a command to start cat control when the port is opened if Yaesu - Older is selected. Your 847 must first be turned on before starting rig interface with the software.
