WCS-R8600 Software August 17, 2018
Reviewer: John from USA  
This software only allows you to program twenty groups even though the ic-r8600 has 100 groups available for programming. This is a major deficiency of the software and needs to be fixed since at present it's only possibe to utilize 20% of the receiver's memory potential.

WCS-R8600 Software June 18, 2018
Reviewer: Steven Shackleton from Castleford, West Yorkshire United Kingdom  
This is a very good software package overall but would benefit from a few updates.
Each Group would be better on individual Tabs rather than in one long list.
This long list has a few bugs e.g. when you delete a line the whole list shifts up or down making frequencies jump into Groups they weren't in before.
The Cut and Paste functions could be improved to match that of Excel.
But overall a nice bit of software that makes programming the IC-R8600 much easier.

does not work very well May 28, 2018
Reviewer: Colyn Baillie-Searle from Foxdale, Isle of Man United Kingdom  
I downloaded the software and installed it. Connected the laptop to the radio and imported the information from the set. All ok. I added more frequencies in the memory software and tried to send it to the ICOM 8600. The set showed it was importing and 30 minutes later came up with error and wiped all memories. I tried to do it again later but the same. I sent an email to the company and never got a reply.
I cannot use this software and will be contacting Paypal to inform  them that the software does not work and hope to get a refund.

Reviewer: Mr Stuart Senior from TAUNTON, Somerset United Kingdom  
Check with Tech Support and you’ll find that the product you sold me hadn’t been fully tested so I wasn’t impressed. The fix, however, sorted the problem.  73
