Icom RS-BA1 Remote control software for IC-7XXX stations

ICOMRSBA1

Icom's RS-BA1 software consists of two parts, one called a 'Server' and a 'Client'. The server is used on a computer at the remote location, where the transceiver is located. Anywhere else you will have another computer running the client program. Both computers are connected through a network, either a local area network (LAN) or the Internet. Imagine your remote station located anywhere in the world and controlled via the Internet! In order for it to work, the transceiver must be connected to the host computer. Icom transceivers with a USB interface simply require the supplied USB cable. Other transceivers require a sound card/CAT interface to connect audio and CAT data with galvanic isolation. In principle, any sound card interface works, such as our SB-2000, USB-2, USB-3, Digikeyer microKeyer and many others. It is also possible to operate older Icom transceivers, but only with very limited possibilities (just frequency and mode control, nothing more).

Minimum requirements for the computer (Server and/or Client):

Microsoft Windows XP (SP3), Vista or 7 (32/64 Bit)
Pentium 4 1GHz clock or higher, multi-core CPU recommended
Memory 512 to 2GB, depending on operating system
Disk space 70MB
Screen resolution 1024 x 600px
Network: DSL with at least 350kbps upload/500kbps download or LAN 10/100MBps
