ICOM IC-R8600 Installation

Hi! I’m trying to set up software to control my Icom IC-R8600 from my computer, but I’ve run into some issues. Getting the official RS-BA1 software turned out to be quite difficult, so I came across an alternative — wfview.

The problem is, I have no idea how to actually connect the receiver to the program. I assume my computer will need some kind of driver or configuration to even recognize the IC-R8600.

As far as I know, the receiver can be connected either via LAN or using the IQ-USB connection. I’d really appreciate some guidance on how to set everything up — which drivers I need, how to configure the connection, and how to make wfview work with the IC-R8600.

If anyone has experience with this setup, I’d be very grateful for any help, instructions, or useful links!

  1. Operating System: Windows 10
  2. Radio Model: IC-R8600
