The IC-T8E is the Icom VHF / UHF Amateur (or "Ham") transceiver capable of wide-band AM & FM receive and 6 meter (50Mhz - 54Mhz) , 2 (144Mhz - 148Mhz) meter and 70 centimeter (430Mhz - 450Mhz) FM only transmit - when appropriately licensed by your country's communications authority.
RigPix Database Icom IC T8E Any FM transmitter operating in those frequency ranges will be received and played thru the speaker - unless they are encoded with a squelch decode sub-audible tone or digitally encoded squelch control that does not match the one set to the IC-T8E. Program the squelch to be open or to match that of the transmitter so that the radio will play only when that particular transmitter is transmitting.
An FM transmitter operating in APCO25, DSTAR, etc. will not be decoded as these are digital signals that the ICT82 is not capable of decoding.
I was unable to locate any "BP200" radio you mentioned, so I can't comment on their capabilities or if they have an incompatibility in encoding, frequency, etc.
