About Discontinued AOR AR-8600MKII Desktop Communications Receiver

This mark II mobile/base station from AOR has been enhanced in several areas. The upper frequency range has been extended to 3000MHz (3GHz), lower band sensitivity has been increased (now covering down to 100kHz). Extra enhancements to SW performance by the addition of further bandpass filters and a selection of alternative IF filters. Mini-Circuits RMS1 / RMS2 mixers have been employed with active SPM antenna switching devices (not diode-switching).
