2 CONNECTIONS s Tape recorder connections The [REC OUT] jack has 350 mV rms/4.7 kΩ output for connection to other audio equipment. IC-R8500 [AUX IN] or [LIVE IN] jack [REC REMOTE] jack: Grounds when a signal is received and squelch opens. If a tape recorder has a control terminal, this jack can be used for recording control. (2 A/DC max.) [REC REMOTE] SCAN SET [REC OUT] 350 mVrms 4.7 kΩ Convenient: When an optional UT-102 VOICE SYNTHESIZER UNIT is installed, detected frequencies during scanning can be recorded. See pgs. 31, 32 for settings. s Transceive function Icom CI-V transceivers or receivers can be connected via the [REMOTE] jack. The frequency and mode become the same* when either radio is changed. * When a set frequency is out-of-range for one of the connected transceivers or receivers, the connected radio's frequency/mode does not change. Connect to [REMOTE] jack • Be sure the "CIV TRAN" item is turned ON in initial set mode (p. 32). s Connecting to a PC The IC-R8500 can connect directly to a personal computer providing control of multiple functions such as instant frequency/name programming using appropriate software. See pgs. 35, 36 for the control command table. RS-232C cable Personal computer A DB9/DB25 adapter may be required depending on the PC's connector. s Data demodulation terminal See p. 16 for details regarding connection and operation.

CONNECTIONS
Tape recorder connections
The [REC OUT] jack has 350 mV rms/4.7 k
output
for connection to other audio equipment.
Transceive function
Icom CI-V transceivers or receivers can be connect-
ed via the [REMOTE] jack. The frequency and mode
become the same* when either radio is changed.
* When a set frequency is out-of-range for one of the con-
nected transceivers or receivers, the connected radio’s
frequency/mode does not change.
Connecting to a PC
Data demodulation terminal
See p. 16 for details regarding connection and opera-
tion.
The IC-R8500 can connect directly to a personal
computer providing control of multiple functions such
as instant frequency/name programming using
appropriate software. See pgs. 35, 36 for the control
command table.
