Back Into Hobby; Some Basic Questions, Please

#1

Unread post by BOB11 »

Hello,

After some medical issues, am happy to say I'm back with the hobby.
To celebrate, have bought a new Icom R8600 Receiver. Wow !

Anyway, I have probably forgotten most everything I had
learned about using this incredible program.

Also, there's that "old age "thing too, I guess.

So, may I please ask a few very basic questions:

a. Do I have to install that Omni... program to use the 8600 Receiver with SDRConsole ?
I looked at their site, and they do list several Icom Receivers, but not the 8600.
Do I still want to download it ? Why ?

b. What is the link, please, for the latest Console download ?

c. With Console, will I be able to access, and use, all the Memories I have loaded into the radio ?

Will I be able to Scan them, like I now can do with the radio ?

What else should I probably be asking at this point ? Caveats, limitations, etc. ?

Thanks for help; really appreciate it,
Bob
