This is a great video when you are using a in house desktop or laptop to access the radio but didn't work once I was away from home. Additional settings are required; The solution after a lot of additional research was to find the IP address of my router connection to the internet from my home to the outside world. Also, specific router firewall settings must be changed to allow port traffic through the router. 50001-50003 are the defults. Then "Total Success" Instead of using the IPADDRESS of 10.x.x..... Use the one that connects your router to the outside world. To open the UDP ports to the outside world, google your specific router's method to open the ports. This can be overwhelming and confusing but take it one step at a time; this video contains most of the settings you need; just a little more to move from the 'local' network, to the 'global' network. Great video. Thanks.
Can this software be used in a non-remote setting to transfer the waterfall and bandscope to a TFT next to the transceiver? Thanks for the upload. *Edit* Apologies, watching further I guess that'd be the 'Setup for a Local PC' option?
The settings are exactly the same. The only thing different is port forwarding the three default ports 50001, 50002 and 50003 to the radio's IP in your router. Because there are many different routers (and because mine is an enterprise router), I couldn't show properly how to do this as it will vary from model to model but the basic methods are as above. Keeping in mind too you will need to know the IP address of the "remote" side or have a Dynamic DNS name. All this is covered in the Icom RS-BA1 manual
Thank you for this video. I have a question. After I use the 7300 or the 9700 remote, it is not possible to use the microphone, there is no sound. Any idea?
When you exit the RS-BA1 software it will default back to a different MIC setting. You can change this in the software. I think it's in the Connect setting, making sure you select MIC when exiting software. It may even be in the bottom right hand corner MIC SEL. In any case, check in the connectors menu of the radio and see what DATA OFF mod is set to. It should be MIC, not USB
Hi there. I can see that the ‘7300 bands’ are geyed out. I happen to have both rigs; when I connect them both, would the software automagically switch between the two?
Yes. You can only have one radio connected to one instance of RS-BA1 at one time. I’m not sure if you can run two instances at the same time, I’d have to test. But yes when you select the 7300 in the menu it will change automagically :)
I have the 9700 problem I have a Mac but the internet I have is wifi which is given to me for free but no router anyway I can get around this by doing internet sharing
A static internet IP address is not needed, however if you had a dynamically changing internet IP then you would need to know what it was changing too, or alternatively run a DNS updater with a DNS hostname provider that will automatically stay updated as the IP changes. Internally in a home network the IP rarely changes unless the radio for example was switched off for an extended period of time and the router allocated that IP out again to another device.
Hi! i have a icom ic-9700 and the rs-ba1 version 2 software. A clean PC with the Remote software. No Firewalls everything is open for testing. From outside no connection. Inside the LAN no connection. Seems that the IC unit don't want to setup a connection. Settings in the icom are alright?? Tried many things but no connection. Any idea? have someone a backup file from a ic-9700 unit with tested settings for remote? thanks
If you have no connection inside the LAN, I’d be doing a port scan on the 9700 IP for the ports the UDP ports it uses to make sure they are active. If they are then check the client settings. Also maybe check the user and password is correct
I'm quite disappointed in how this works with the 9700. If you put the radio in SAT mode, nothing works. I have yet to be able to see both VFO's at the same time. Its only use is to create another virtual COM port with the Icom Remote Utility.
Found the issue! I removed a conflicting driver and it's not crashing now but now there's something else.. even though my MOD shows audio when I speak, the audio doesn't go out when I key.

I had hoped that you would show the correct settings used so that you could use your radio "remotely" ie from other than your house
The settings are exactly the same. The only thing different is port forwarding the three default ports 50001, 50002 and 50003 to the radio's IP in your router. Because there are many different routers (and because mine is an enterprise router), I couldn't show properly how to do this as it will vary from model to model but the basic methods are as above. Keeping in mind too you will need to know the IP address of the "remote" side or have a Dynamic DNS name. All this is covered in the Icom RS-BA1 manual
How do you operate the software with the sub band?
so we set the software to radio and pc ,the same software i install it to my lap top and take the laptop with me to my office and make calls?
I’m still confused. Do I need a computer running at the house or will the radio do it with just a CAT cable?
The radio will do it with the CAT cable.. it has a server builtin. You'll still need a PC to run the software though to control the radio etc
Thank you for this video. I have a question. After I use the 7300 or the 9700 remote, it is not possible to use the microphone, there is no sound. Any idea?

Very interesting - I am getting my 9700 tomorrow - can't wait. So, quick qn, are you able to resize the Spectrum Scope window?
In the software, no it is a fixed size
Ham Radio DX that’s a shame. Would be nice if it were able to be enlarged.
Hi there. I can see that the ‘7300 bands’ are geyed out. I happen to have both rigs; when I connect them both, would the software automagically switch between the two?

@@HamRadioDX It would be nice, wouldn’t it? And not all that hard I presume, after all, the radio’s bands do not overlap...

Hi -have you done this on the 705 ?> thanks - Andreas
Not yet but it is on my to-do list
Do you need a static IP address from your ISP?
No, you can use a dynamic IP and a Dynamic DNS name
How to configure a remote pc for the radio ip (server)? A simple dns?
Yes either a static IP, no-ip or similar DNS name
So If I understood this correctly, a 'static' IP address is not needed?
Great video btw Hayden. Thank you 👍

@@HamRadioDX How does Icom say to do with this? Or, how do you do it more specifically? I will want to use it away from the house.
Do you know if this software can be used (same not totally) an ICOM R9500 ?
Good job pro did you try join from
Phone
we wait for android version !
yeah for real if im paying $150 for this software would be nice to add android
screen says "connected" but can get to function beyond this point, why?

@@greattime007 they should be open if the server is running correctly

My RS-BA1 crashes when I try to transmit and I have to power cycle the radio. Not happy with the software at the moment.
Hi Chris,
Sorry to hear that. I haven't had any issues with the software my end. Have you tried a different PC?
Found the issue! I removed a conflicting driver and it's not crashing now but now there's something else.. even though my MOD shows audio when I speak, the audio doesn't go out when I key.

Warum deutscher Titel: "Steuern Sie Ihren Icom IC-9700 aus der Ferne!"
Und englische Sprache?
the title is in english but youtube automatically translates titles into the user's preferred language by default
