The ICOM "IC-R8600"
SDR
Communications Receiver.
We find it to be Icom's best receiver EVER made "wide band" or not.
(yes even when compared to the IC-R9500 that we have
also tested) (N9EWO Photo)

Welcome to "Dave's
Radio Receiver Page". Here is my little spot on
this earth to pass along my experiences and or comments about "Radio
Receivers", as well as other gizmos that I use in my
radio monitoring / recording ventures. My main focus is in the
"Shortwave" part of the radio spectrum. A few other
radio related items have been thrown in too , including amateur
radio equipment reviews and views that may not be directly
related.
I have been playing around with radio receivers for over 40
years now, and in this time span my fingers have run across many
models, some really good and some really bad. Most comments you
read here have been pulled from my own head, but from others as
well (as noted). All observations from me are being made with the
2 ear / 2 eye method, so no fancy test equipment here. These of
course are my views and your findings may well be different.
Any set being listed on these pages does not mean that I own it
or plan on owning.
I'm sorry if any part of this site seems to have a "Soap Box" slant to it , but I tell it like it is with my "hard - hitting" unbiased hands on reports.
"Thank You" for stopping by and enjoy your visit to this web
page.....Dave
