* Ultra-wide frequency coverage with RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) function * 10 kHz to 3 GHz general coverage (YES! That's 3.0 GHz!)

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! Software works with Windows 8/8.1 (full versions), Windows 10 (32 and 64 bit) and Windows 11.This model is the cellular blocked version also known as IC-R8600-02.Much more than just memory channel programming with settings for other radio menu items.Ability to copy and paste spreadsheet or website data.
