Separate band pass filters minimize cross modulation and provide high sensitivity in the 0.1 to 30 MHz range. Triple conversion and advanced RF circuits achieve an improved dynamic range of 107 dB and an intercept point of 27.5 dBm. The APF can select between two bandwidths and serves as a tone control in the FM mode and can also selectively boost signals in the CW mode. The IF shift effectively rejects nearby signals in the SSB modes. This receiver is equipped with IF Shift and Auto Peak Filter functions. Reception modes include: AM, LSB, USB, CW, FM-N and FM-W.
The R8500 (and R9500) are clear exceptions to this rule, combining the performance of the popular HF IC-R75 and venerable VHF/UHF IC-R7100. Most wideband receivers tend to perform only modestly below 30 MHz. Covering 100 kHz to 1999.99 MHz, this receiver does cover it all and more importantly it does it well throughout this extraordinary range. The Icom IC-R8500 -32K government receiver produces performance, coverage and sophistication rarely seen in other models.
