Operations while the IC-R8600 is in the I/Q mode
You need to enter the I/Q mode to get I/Q signals.
While the IC-R8600 is in the I/Q mode, [REMOTE] LED lights and the IC-R8600 is in the “Remote controlled
mode,” thus you cannot operate the IC-R8600.
To exit the I/Q mode, send the command that cancels the mode, or push the [LOCAL] key on the IC-R8600
front panel. Turning OFF the IC-R8600’s power also exits the I/Q mode.
While the IC-R8600 is in the I/Q mode, the operations that a user can perform are limited.
