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 to be 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.

I INDEX........................................................................ II vii PRECAUTIONS R DANGER! NEVER operate the receiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. This could cause an explosion and death. R WARNING! NEVER operate the receiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use. R WARNING! NEVER apply AC power to the [DC13.8V]
socket on the receiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or damage the receiver. R WARNING! NEVER apply more than 16 V DC to the
[DC13.8V] socket on the receiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or damage the receiver. R WARNING! NEVER reverse the DC power cable polarity. This could cause a fire or damage the receiver. R WARNING! NEVER remove the fuse holder on the DC power cable. Excessive current caused by a short could cause a fire or damage the receiver. R WARNING! NEVER let metal, wire or other objects contact the inside of the receiver, or make incorrect contact with connectors on the rear panel. This could cause an electric shock or damage the receiver. R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the receiver with wet hands. This could cause an electric shock or damage to the receiver. R WARNING! Immediately turn OFF the receiver power and remove the power cable from the receiver if it emits an abnormal odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom dealer or distributor for advice. R WARNING! NEVER put the receiver on an unstable place where the receiver may suddenly move or fall. This could cause an injury or damage the receiver. R WARNING! NEVER operate the receiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the receiver. Always disconnect the power source and antenna before a storm. CAUTION: NEVER expose the receiver to rain, snow or any liquids. CAUTION: NEVER change the internal settings of the receiver. This could reduce receiver performance and/
or damage to the receiver. The receiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized internal adjustments. CAUTION: NEVER install or place the receiver in a place without adequate ventilation. CAUTION: NEVER use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they will damage the receiver surfaces. CAUTION: NEVER leave the receiver in areas with temperatures below 10C (+14F) or above +60C
(+140F). CAUTION: NEVER place the receiver in excessively dusty environments. This could damage the receiver. DO NOT place the receiver against walls or put anything on top of the receiver. This may overheat the receiver. BE CAREFUL! The receiver will become hot when operating the receiver continuously for long periods of time. NEVER leave the receiver in an insecure place to avoid use by unauthorized persons. Turn OFF the receivers power and/or disconnect the DC power cable when you will not use the receiver for long period of time. The display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small dark or light spots. This is not a malfunction or defect, but a normal characteristic of LCDs. The IC-R8600 may receive its own oscillated frequency, resulting in no reception or only noise reception including on the Spectrum Scope screen, on some frequencies. viii 1 PANEL DESCRIPTION Front panel This section describes the keys, controls and dials that you use to operate the IC-R8600.

SHARP This selection is to emphasize the passband width of the filter. The filter has an almost ideal shape factor. Signals out of the passband are extremely filtered out and it gives you better audio quality. SOFT The filter shoulders are roundly formed as in analog filters. This decreases noise components in the high and low frequencies of the filter passband and increases the S/N ratio of the target signal. These characteristics play an effective role in picking up very weak signals. The filter shape is kept, and the sharpness of the bandpass is excellent. 5-3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 5 OTHER FUNCTIONS Noise Blanker (NB) Noise Reduction SSB, CW, FSK and AM modes The Noise blanker eliminates pulse-type noise such as the noise from car ignitions. 1. 2.

Before using the SD card, thoroughly read the cards instructions. If you do any of the following, the card data may be corrupted or deleted.
- You remove the card from the receiver while the card is being accessed.
- A power failure occurs or the power cable is disconnected while the card is being accessed.
- You drop, impact or vibrate the card. Do not touch the contacts of the card. The receiver takes a longer time to recognize a large capacity card. The card will get warm if continuously used for a long period of time. The card has a certain lifetime, so data reading or writing may not be possible after using it for a long period. When reading or writing data is impossible, the cards lifetime has ended. In that case, use a new one. We recommend you make a separate backup file of the important data onto your PC.

- zlib doesn't work with gcc 2.6.3 on a DEC 3000/300LX under OSF/1 2.1 it works when compiled with cc.
- On Digital Unix 4.0D (formely OSF/1) on AlphaServer, the cc option -std1 is necessary to get gzprintf working correctly. This is done by configure.
- zlib doesn't work on HP-UX 9.05 with some versions of /bin/cc. It works with other compilers. Use "make test" to check your compiler.
- gzdopen is not supported on RISCOS or BEOS.
- For PalmOs, see http://palmzlib. sourceforge.net/

ZLIB DATA COMPRESSION LIBRARY zlib 1.2.8 is a general purpose data compression library. All the code is thread safe. The data format used by the zlib library is described by RFCs (Request for Comments) 1950 to 1952 in the files http://
tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1950 (zlib format), rfc1951 (deflate format) and rfc1952 (gzip format). All functions of the compression library are documented in the file zlib.h (volunteer to write man pages welcome, contact zlib@
gzip.org). A usage example of the library is given in the file test/example.c which also tests that the library is working correctly. Another example is given in the file test/
minigzip.c. The compression library itself is composed of all source files in the root directory. To compile all files and run the test program, follow the instructions given at the top of Makefile.in. In short "./configure; make test", and if that goes well, "make install" should work for most flavors of Unix. For Windows, use one of the special makefiles in win32/
or contrib/vstudio/ . For VMS, use make_ vms.com. Questions about zlib should be sent to
<zlib@gzip.org>, or to Gilles Vollant <info@
winimage.com> for the Windows DLL version. The zlib home page is http://zlib. net/ . Before reporting a problem, please check this site to verify that you have the latest version of zlib; otherwise get the latest version and check whether the problem still exists or not. PLEASE read the zlib FAQ http://zlib.net/
zlib_faq.html before asking for help. Mark Nelson <markn@ieee.org> wrote an article about zlib for the Jan. 1997 issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal; a copy of the article is available at http://marknelson. us/1997/01/01/zlib-engine/ . The changes made in version 1.2.8 are documented in the file ChangeLog. Unsupported third party contributions are provided in directory contrib/ . zlib is available in Java using the java. util.zip package, documented at http://
java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/
Programming/compression/ . A Perl interface to zlib written by Paul Marquess <pmqs@cpan.org> is available at CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) sites, including http://search.cpan. org/~pmqs/IO-Compress-Zlib/ . A Python interface to zlib written by A.M. Kuchling <amk@amk.ca> is available in Python 1.5 and later versions, see http://
docs.python.org/library/zlib.html . zlib is built into tcl: http://wiki.tcl.tk/4610 . An experimental package to read and write files in .zip format, written on top of zlib by Gilles Vollant <info@winimage.com>, is available in the contrib/minizip directory of zlib. Notes for some targets:
- For Windows DLL versions, please see win32/DLL_FAQ.txt
