R8600 R8600 Audio Output: Stereo or Mono?

[N9JIG]

Is the external speaker jack on the R8600 stereo or mono? The manual does not say but it comes with stereo plugs to wire up.

I am planning on running the receive audio thru a mixer and am trying to figure out the appropriate cables.

Thanks!

You can use stereo cables, but the ring is not connected to anything. I use a stereo cable to connect to my CLR-dsp, but the ring doesn't have any audio on it.

Just curious, any particular software you using for hooking it up to the computer? Been looking for a good software package for decoding for my R8600. Thanks

For decoding, I use a combination of SDR Console fed to MultiPSK.

So the SDR console recognizes the R8600? When it comes to multiPSK, Does the software recognize the transmission to decode or do you have to select the proper decoding software inside the software package? Am unfamiliar with the software.

SDR Console recognizes the R8600 through a USB connection. Multipsk requires you to select the proper decoding scheme.

I should also add that I use Virtual Audio Cable to send the signal from SDR Console to Multipsk.
