I'm sure Erich will weigh in here, but I would think that if you went into Radio Setup, ticked the Icom button, then under Model, selected "Others" and under Address, plugged in the correct CI-V address for the R8500, it might work...

Has any one installed a IC-R8500 in SatPC32 to control its Freq? Or any other unsupported radio. Any tips would be helpful.
