New base receiver from Icom raises the bar

摘要

With the move towards digital radio technology for two-way communications, the requirements to monitor frequencies becomes more complex. With government organisations moving to advanced technologies such as APCO P25, the role of a traditional analog receiver has narrowed. The new Icom IC-R8600 Wideband Receiver raises the bar. It uses the experience gained in the development of the IC-7300 (SDR) amateur transceiver, to deliver a receiver covering 0.01-3000MHz through AM, FM, USB, LSB and CW modes.
