ICOM R8600


Simon Brown
 

I've said it before and I'll say it again - the R8600 is a class act. Haven't used lab gear, just looked at the Band II signal - super clean, HF - clean and very sensitive.

I've almost bought one a couple of times as it's obviously a great radio.

These days, though, I've more got my eye on a WiNRADiOWR-G69DDC 'Excelsior Ultra'. I'm seriously considering this one, especially if I can convince Simon to accept drop-shipment of it first so that he can adapt it into SDR Console before I even get it.

Already supported.

Simon, wait...

I know you already support the WR-G65DDCe 'Excalibur Sigma' through the use of the G65DDCAPI.dll, but does this apply to the WiNRADiO WR-G69DDC 'Excelsior Ultra' also?

That would be great.


Simon Brown
 

Yes,

It's in the Search menu. All the WinRadio are great on HF - I think​ they use a super low noise preamp and a very linear ADC. There's something about them. Sadly they don't let me keep the radios but that's understandable.
