NEVER connect the receiver to an AC outlet or to a DC power
supply that uses more than the specifi ed voltage. This will
ruin the receiver.
DO NOT expose the receiver to rain, snow or liquids.
DO NOT reverse the polarity of the power cable when con-
necting the receiver.
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.
The IF signal is sent to the A/D converter, resulting in digital signal, then is processed by a high-speed FPGA and DSP and then
restored to an analog audio signal.
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 in D-STAR, P25, NXDN,
dPMR and DCR. This was archived by using Software Defi ned Radio (SDR) technology
