Description
Customer Reviews
*Radio Compatibility
RT Systems WCS-R8600 Programming software makes it easy to manage memory channel information and other menu settings of the Icom IC-R8600.
Click here for more Information.
Spreadsheet layout with many point and click options.
"Read" the current configuration from the radio for editing or start from scratch in a new file.
The programmer has copy and paste of memory channel information between files.
Column editing for changing several channels with minimal typing.
An easy interface to RFinder-Worldwide Repeater Directory, Radio Reference, or Repeater Book to get repeater information for your location, a travel route, or a vacation spot. Repeater details available for locations in and outside the US. (separate purchase or subscription may be required)
Other built-in frequency lists for easy memory channel entries (check File|External data in the programmer before you spend time on internet searches for frequencies. You may find just what you need!)
Ability to copy and paste spreadsheet or website data.
Much more than just memory channel programming with settings for other radio menu items.
Software works with Windows 8/8.1 (full versions), Windows 10 (32 and 64 bit) and Windows 11.
WCS-R8600 Software
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.

does not work very well
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.

WCS-R8600 Software
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.

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

RT Systems programmers work with the radio specified from the manufacturer shown in the description.
RT Systems programmers are designed to work with manufacturer's firmware or approved firmware upgrades. There is no guarantee, and a great deal of doubt, that the programmer will work with a radio that has been upgraded with a firmware version that is not from the manufacturer. RT Systems takes no responsibility for changes made to such a modified radio during programming.
No implication is made that a programmer is appropriate for a radio with a similar number from a different manufacturer. Actually, purchasing a programmer for a radio from a different manufacturer just because it has a similar number is strongly discouraged.
RT Systems takes no responsibility for the performance of your radio should you choose to use a programmer other than that listed specifically for the manufacturer and model of that radio you are attempting to program. Exceptions are noted in the description for several products. Check there if you feel your radio is a variant of the one shown, but be advised that the manufacturer will never vary. If the model is not listed, you should check with RT Systems prior to your purchase.
Installed software is NOT returnable, exchangeable or refundable.
