First of all, for what it does, I love my 8600. It's a beautiful radio that works very well. The downside is that it's very expensive. In my opinion it should have been priced about a thousand dollars lower, mainly because of what it lacks. For $2500, it should have included an HDMI output. And although I somewhat understand why they didn't include Yaesu Fusion capability or DMR capability, it would have been a good idea to have made those modes an option, or had provisions to add them with optional modules or cards later. My AOR DV1 includes those modes and more for about a thousand dollars less. That being said, my 8600 is a much more satisfying radio to operate. The 8600 is much more substantial, more fun to use, looks better, sounds better, and overall just feels like a much higher quality radio. Not to mention it looks great sitting alongside of my 7300 and 9700.

Thanks for sharing. I will be coming down to get one of these receivers as well as the IC9700 too. Both radios will be a good addition to my ham shack.

Would love to see an external monitor port (HDMI) added to this unit.

Number one toy in my wish list. Must be pricey, though.
Thanks a lot for showing the radio and posting the video.

Thank you for this interesting demonstration, and apology for adding comment (or query) late. Thus, can you please advise on why I could not received a local (UK BBC radio 4) 200KHz AM broadcast, while it is received loud and clear on vintage Selena, Sony ICF-7601L and on NRD-535. All these radios are placed in the same location, using the same antennae (long wire and other). In fact, the portable radios pick up this broadcast with hardly any antenna extension, while the IC-R8600 renders nothing but (50Hz) noise, and this is despite trying all the permutations on turning on 'noise reduction', attenuation, reducing RF gain. Am I doing anything wrong? Thank you.

This is so cool. I live in Asia, and would like to listen to radio from Ukraine War and stuff, how can I setup the antennae for this? Like can I just do it in my room or?

For a wideband radio every demo is always shortwave. There are a million radios that can handle shortwave fine, there are barely any stations left on it. Show off vhf/uhf things like airband etc.. if you want to sell these radios you need show what it can do on VHF and UHF
