Thank you for this interesting demonstration, but may I seek your advice on why I could not received a local (UK BBC radio 4) 200KHz AM broadcast, while it is received loud and clear on vintage Selena, Sony ICF-7601L and on NRD-535. All these radios are placed in the same location, using the same antennae (long wire and other). In fact, the portable radios pick up this broadcast with hardly any antenna extension, while the IC-R8600 renders nothing but (50Hz) noise, and this is despite trying all the permutations on turning on 'noise reduction', attenuation, reducing RF gain. Am I doing anything wrong? Thank you.
Well, after listening some IC-R8600 videos and its perfomance. Should I sell my Winradio G33DCC Excalibur Pro and buy a R8600? My main preferences are MW and tropical band catches.
Thanks for this good preview. This seems like the ultimate receiver. No computer required, full coverage, all modes, waterfall display, the whole nine yards. I wonder what the price point will be. ...Dear Santa...
Hallo.Wer kann mir sagen wo man beim IC R 8600 ein Diskriminatorsignal abgreifen kann?Von der Rückseite oder der Vorderseite des R8600?USB,Cinch und Klinkenstecker-Buchsen sind ja genug vorhanden,aber welche ist die richtige?Leider ist dazu nichts genaues in der Onlinebedienunganleitung zu finden.
bought my 8600 a month ago . really impressed with the sound quality and performance . cant understand why they gave a free brick psu that only works with the speaker . i run the 8500 and the 7800 aswell. icom certainly no how to set the bar
Der R8600 ist der kleine Bruder des R9500 und hat die meisten DSP Funktionen des R9500. Bei der Antennenverträglichkeit ist der R9500 besser. Das Spektrumscope ist beim R8600 dafür um Klassen besser.
Also würdest Du sagen, dass der höhere Preis des IC-R9500 gegenüber dem neuen IC.R8600, heute nicht mehr gerechtfertigt ist und man getrost den "kleinen Neuen" kaufen kann? Ist der Preis für den neuen nun offiziell bereits bekannt?
I couldn't put into words how much I love my 8600. Of course, I have the antennas to back it up, which u must have in order for the radio to perform well. Yeah, this receiver IS THE S**T!!
Hallo, eine frage: Welche Antenne benutzen sie?
Thanks Fernando , Your videos are my favorite radio visual reviews.
Thanks Fernando for letting us see your new radio. Looks wonderful. The size is quite small, too. Very compact size! Best 73, Rob VK3BVW
When you were changing modes I saw a Digital function, does this receive HD radio? What kinds of digital signals have you tried to receive?

Hi do you know what function for to listen two differents frequency in same moment or alternate?
Well, after listening some IC-R8600 videos and its perfomance. Should I sell my Winradio G33DCC Excalibur Pro and buy a R8600? My main preferences are MW and tropical band catches.
Also, what type of antenna are you using for HF frequencies?
hi Fernando . what is your overall impression of the 8600 now that you have had it for a while . is it to 9500 standards
fantastic . lucky you .. is it available in Europe yet

Great Video : could you make one of frequencies above the 108 mhz range.

Nice Fernando, very nice..
Thank you Hans. I hope you have fun with your new toys :-)
That looks very nice.
Have you tried it on MW yet?
Yes, comparison with Excalibur Pro is like the same sensitivity.
Very nice! What is your opinion about the reception on VHF, UHF and SHF? 73's
At the moment I not have tryed the reception above Shortwave in the deep. Airband works well with a fast scanning. More about this in few weeks.
ok thanks!
Is it avaible in EU yet?
Hi Sergio, availability in europe is unknown.
Ok...Fernando, thanks for your answer and thanks for share this video.

great vid! looks like a great radio I'd say...
Vergleich mit deinem IC.R9500 wäre mal interessant

compassdetectors..... Ich habe gehört so um die US $2500.00, oder €3000.00!
Hi Fernando, looks good! How is the touch screen responding?
Hi Pascal,
Very good and fast.
i have read the complete review on your website and as always: a very informative and high quality test, thank you very much!
Tried At Of The Decoder Features? Thanks K4YPS
Have tryed all but not intensive. More in the coming weeks.
Ok Thanks..Have The 7300..Love To Get This 8600.73'

Very interesting piece of equipment. I look forward to you posting airband video. 73s G6XYZ
wow great receiver
i have the icom 7300 receiving also very nice
Good job!
Sehr schönes Gerät da komme ich ins schwärmen, leider für mich zu teuer , hat bei mir nur für ein Alinco DX8RE gereicht ;)
Excelente receptor, como para que no lo sea casi 3.000 €!! , me parece excesivamente caro
So many things to click :)
