RS-BA1
Version2
Further Advanced Dualwatch Remote Control Software
Remote Base Operation Whether users are in another room, home, or another state, the RSBA1 allows users to operate their ham shack with only an IP connection. Version 2 of RSBA1 adds more features to the software, making interoperability between transceivers such as the IC-7610 or the IC-9700 interface simpler.
Descriptions
Dualwatch, Dual Spectrum Scope Control
The dualwatch operation and dual spectrum scopes with the waterfall functions* can be used on your remote PC. MAIN and SUB spectrum scopes can be observed on the RS-BA1 at the same time. Of course, the RS-BA1 can be used with Icom single receiver transceivers.
* The dualwatch and dual spectrum scope functions are only for the IC-7851, IC-7850 and IC-7610. The spectrum scope functions (single receive) are usable with the IC-7300, IC-9700 and IC-705.
Most Functions Can Be Controlled
Most functions and modes of your transceiver, including interference rejection functions and IF filter settings, can be controlled using the CI-V commands. The following functions are added to the RS-BA1 Version 2.
- Panel size can be enlarged (Normal or large size selectable)
- Indicator click operation to change the settings
- RIT and ⊿TX functions
- [MUTE] button
- SUB dial
Low Latency, High Quality Audio Over an IP Network
The RS-BA1 offers real-time operation with low latency, high quality audio. You can use the transceiver installed in another room using your home network, or even from a remote location over the Internet*.
* A static public IP address or Dynamic DNS is required for the base station (Server) PC, when you configure the remote control system through the Internet.
