tk8500 is an open source, multi-platform GUI program for controlling and configuring the ICOM IC-R8500 radio receiver. It lets you scan channels, perform limit searches, and import/export memory channel lists from .csv files.
Information regarding Project Releases and Project Resources. Note that the information here is a quote from Freecode.com page, and the downloads themselves may not be hosted on OSDN.
The sliders and frequency keypad controls may be docked or separated into a separate Adjustments window to accomodate use with low resolution monitors. A new, variable length frequency usage note field may be defined for each memory channel and portrayed below the frequency display. A new tk8500.bat file and installation instructions permit the same installation procedure for all versions of Microsoft Windows.
