ABOUT THE SDR WIDEBAND RECEIVER CIRCUITS
While ordinary wide band receivers need to have dedicated demodulator circuits for each receive mode, the ICR8600 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. This was archived by using Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology.

PRECAUTIONS
R DANGER! NEVER operate the receiver near unshielded
electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. This
could cause an explosion and death.
CAUTION: NEVER expose the receiver to rain, snow or
any liquids.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
CAUTION: NEVER leave the receiver in areas with
temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C
(+140°F).
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.
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.
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.
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.
R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the receiver with
wet hands. This could cause an electric shock or damage
to the receiver.
Turn OFF the receiver’s power and/or disconnect the DC
power cable when you will not use the receiver for long
period of time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
Selecting a location
Grounding
Select a location for the receiver that allows adequate
air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold or
vibrations, and other electromagnetic sources.
An improper location may damage the receiver.
To prevent electrical shock, interfere
from other electric devices and other
problems, ground the receiver using
the ground terminal [GND] on the rear
panel.
Never place the receiver in areas such as:
• Temperatures below –10°C (+40°F) or above +60°C
(+140°F).
• Unstable place slope or vibrate.
• In direct sunlight.
• High humidity and temperature.
• Dusty environments.
• Noisy environments.
For best results, connect a heavy
gauge wire or strap to a long ground
rod. Make the distance between the
[GND] terminal and ground as short as
possible.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the [GND] terminal
to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection could
cause an explosion or electric shock.
Heat dissipation
Connecting a DC power supply
• DO NOT place the receiver against walls, or put
anything on top of the receiver. This may block airflow.
• NEVER install the receiver in a place without
adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be
reduced, and the receiver may be damaged.

strong input signals. It also improves the Third-order
Intercept Point (IP3) while minimizing the reduction of
the receive sensitivity.
SSB, CW, FSK and AM modes
The Digital Twin PBT (Passband Tuning) electronically

You can use an SD card of up to 2 GB, or an SDHC of
up to 32 GB. Icom has checked the compatibility with the
following SD and SDHC cards.
(As of March 2017)
• Brand: SanDisk®
• Type: SD (2 GB) and SDHC (4, 8, 16 and 32 GB)
LThe above list does not guarantee the card’s performance.
LThroughout the rest of this document, the SD card and an
SDHC card are simply called the SD card or the card.
TIP: Icom recommends that you save the receiver’s
factory default data for backup.
NOTE:
• Before using the SD card, thoroughly read the card’s 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 card’s
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.
• Icom will not be responsible for any damage caused by
data corruption of a card.

NOTE: The backup battery for the internal clock
The IC-R8600 has a rechargeable Lithium battery to
backup the internal clock. If you connect the receiver to
a power source, the battery is charged and it keeps the
correct clock setting. However, if you do not connect the
receiver to a power source for a long period of time, the
battery will discharge. In that case, the receiver resets the
internal clock.
If you do not use the receiver for a long period, we
recommend that you connect the receiver to a power
source at least once a month. The charging period is two
days whether the receiver’s power is ON or OFF.

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).
3. This Copyright notice may not be
removed or altered from any source or
altered source distribution.
The Contributing Authors and Group 42,
Inc. specifically permit, without fee, and
encourage the use of this source code
as a component to supporting the PNG
file format in commercial products. If
you use this source code in a product,
acknowledgment is not required but would
be appreciated.
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.
A "png_get_copyright" function is available,
for convenient use in "about" boxes and the
like:
printf("%s", png_get_copyright(NULL));
Also, the PNG logo (in PNG format, of
course) is supplied in the files "pngbar.png"
and "pngbar.jpg (88x31) and "pngnow.png"
(98x31).
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.
Libpng is OSI Certified Open Source
Software. OSI Certified is a certification
mark of the Open Source Initiative.
The contributing authors would like to thank
all those who helped with testing, bug fixes,
and patience. This wouldn't have been
possible without all of you.
Questions about zlib should be sent to
, or to Gilles Vollant  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.
Thanks to Frank J. T. Wojcik for helping with
the documentation.

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 , is
available in the contrib/minizip directory of
zlib.
Notes for some targets:
- For Windows DLL versions, please see
win32/DLL_FAQ.txt
- For 64-bit Irix, deflate.c must be compiled
without any optimization. With
- O, one libpng test fails. The test works in
32 bit mode (with the -n32 compiler flag).
The compiler bug has been reported to
SGI.
- 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/
Acknowledgments:
The deflate format used by zlib was
defined by Phil Katz. The deflate and
zlib specifications were written by L.
Peter Deutsch. Thanks to all the people
who reported problems and suggested
various improvements in zlib; they are too
numerous to cite here.
