Alpha tags for both bank name and channel name which is nice. Plenty of banks and you can change the size of the banks too.
Great receiver and coverage, very sensitive.

Free software doesn't support Win 7 so you'll need to pay butel some money.
Scanmaster 2 mk2 serial#
Programming is easy using a serial cable/USB adapter. I picked up a mk2 a few weeks back, £400 unused with the Collins SSB filter installed.Īudio is a little low from the speaker, fine on the desk in front of me but if I want to wander around the room it's a bit short of oompf ! Annoyingly you get a chuffing on the audio if used through headphones as the unit scans, this isn't noticeable on the speaker.Easy to programme and use, most features are on function keys rather than hidden in menus. This is my 2nd 8600, first was a mk1 when they first came out which I didn't think much of. I recently bought the Aor-8600MKII main intrest is monitoring hf aero using a Wellbrook-ALA1530LĪctive loop,vhf airbands hooked up to an Icom-AH7000 discone also both antennas are connected to a Watson WAM-599 aerial combiner performance on all bands is excellent do have 35 other receivers to compare planing on buying the batteries in future to run it portable. Palstar,sangean,ten tec,yaesu,winradio this one is as good as others.Įarlier 5-star review posted by AUSSIE on I bought the Aor-8600MK2 in august of 2014 main intrest for me is monitoring aircraft on hf & vhf sound quality is excellent layout looks good performance is excellent across all bands for hf i use metz & wellbrook antennas and for vhf Icom-AH7000 discone & Polar custom made dipole airband antenna people complain how receivers dont do very well on hf problem is running a piece of wire aint going to do anything do have receivers from alinco,commradio,drake,elad,icom,jrc, The display, the key plastic look identical. It seems that it is a mobile version of AR-8200. the AM ferrite bar antenna is way to short, same as the one in AR-8200 Suffer from adjacent channel interference in VHF NFM receptionĨ. No tone control (need that for HF AM reception)Ħ. Noisy receiver in HF (compare to IC-706, IC-7100 and FT-857)Ĥ. RF front end can be easily overloaded in HF band with a 3 meter vertical receiving antennaģ. Compact size and can be powered by internal batteryĢ. The first one I have ever seen in amateur radio product at this price range. The unit has double shielding and compact, but quite heavy. on LCD can only been seen when the back light is turned on. Bought an AR-8600 from a friend just about a month ago at a bargain price due to a couple of issues:ġ. Have been using ICOM, Yaesu and Kenwood HF transceivers since I've got my amateur licence in 1983. Wanted to have a wide range receiver for a long time.
