Notes Minimum tuning step is 50 Hz. Although the AR-8600-Mark II has a 10.7 MHz IF output, its bandwidth
is said to only be +/- 2MHz, so it is not suitable for use with a standard video demodulator. However, a special
NTSC demodulator called the TV8600 designed exclusively for the AR-8600 MKIIb or MkIIU supposedly has
a 10 MHz bw. If NTSC demodulator is installed, the 10.7 MHz IF output is no longer available.
This receiver is NFM only above 470 MHz.
