Would like to learn more about this software.

I do listening only.

+ DXLab is optimized for DXing, which involves transmitting as well as receiving. See

https://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/GettingStarted

Will any of the packages work in controlling an Icom R8600 receiver ?

+ Commander, DXLab's transceiver control component, does not explicitly support the R8600. It does support the R8500. It's possible
that configuring Commander to control an R8500 with the appropriate CI-V address for your R8600 will work; see

https://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/TranceiverControlIcom

+ If Commander's R8500 settings (and the correct CI-V address) work with your R8600, please let me know, and I'll add an R8600
setting in the next version of Commander.

Commander (the radio control module) can control just about any Icom.

98% of what I do with the whole suite is amateur radio but that 2% is
MW DXing. Although DXKeeper (the module that keeps your log) can be
used quite effectively as a listener log.

It's a great suite. And, because it's modular, you only need to
install the parts you need, say just DXKeeper and Commander.

Fair warning - it's not the *simplest* program suite in the world but
Dave, who will introduce himself shortly is a GREAT resource (what
with him being the author of the program and all).

This is a pretty friendly list so do NOT be afraid to ask questions!
