The Icom IC-R8500-32K government receiver produces performance, coverage and sophistication rarely seen in other models. Covering 100 kHz to 1999.99 MHz, this receiver does cover it all; and more importantly; it does it well throughout this extraordinary range. Most wideband receivers tend to perform only modestly below 30 MHz. The R8500 (and R9500) are clear exceptions to this rule, combining the performance of the popular HF IC-R75 and venerable VHF/UIC-R7100. Reception modes include: AM, LSB, USB, CW, FM-N and FM-W. This receiver is equipped with IF Shift and Auto Peak Filter functions a first for receivers in this class. The IF shift effectively rejects nearby signals in the SSB modes. The APF can select between two bandwidths and serves as a tone control in the FM mode and can also selectively boost signals
