Remote Software - Icom 8600

[vince48]

Greetings,
Has Icom updated/improved their RS-8600 software? I'm interested in scanning, PC control software for my Icom 8600. I use Simon's V3 SDR Console and it is great, but it does not scan and has limited radio control. Not being a programmer so I can't roll my own.

Thanks in advance for all responses.

Hi,

The ICOM RS-R8600 software has very limited capabilities and expensive to boot; I personally do not recommend. The thread reviewing the RS-R8600 (ICOM has not updated the RS-R8600 since initial release): https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/rs-r8600-installed-one-frustration.359868/

Another good thread with information of the ICOM cloning software and interfacing PC/R8600 https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/using-the-icom-r8600.356021/

Thread for configuring operation with HRD: https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/using-the-icom-r8600.356021/page-3#post-2811164

Open question to all - has anyone found a program like what the Op is seeking?

Why not use the software that you use when you're sitting in front of it, then use remote PC software to control that computer when you're not there?

Thank you Sir, I have the CS-8600 cloning software, just looking for control, LAN remote software. SDR Console is great, but I want to scan and control the 8600

well because SDR Console use the 8600 as a panadaptor, can't scan or search
