This was awesome. I have the IC-7300 on my desk as well as my HP EliteDesk. Followed your video step-by-step and I'm up and running. A few updates since you did your video - ICOM Remote Utility now has a setup wizard (I found it to be confusing, exited out, and added the radio manually as per your video). RS-BA1 remote has an update and now has multiple IC-7300's. I navigated to Menu - Set - Others - Information on the radio itself, clicked on Version, noted that my IC-7300 is version 1.40 Main CPU and I selected IC-7300 (Ver1.40 -) in the RS-BA1 software.
I get that video conferencing, from our phone, is no big deal anymore. When he made a contact through his station remotely, using the software over the internet, I couldn't help but smile like a fool, in awe of how well that worked. Very cool indeed.
I tried the installation and set up on my own. But it did not work. I am not sure what I did wrong. But I followed along with your video and now my RS-Ba1 and IC-7300 are working well together. Thank You for your video. You save me a lot of time in configuring the software. God Bless. 73 from N2LRB
What a wonderful video! The pace, the diction and the visuals are perfect! I get so frustrated with Amateur You Tube Videos where the presenter sniffs, talks quickly so as to give the impression they know their stuff, constantly moving their mouse as if to show their expertise, moving the mouse pointer back and forward from various screens and loose commentary because they are not sure of what they are saying. Finally they mumble to add to the frustrations of the first time viewer who will never come back to the presenters video! My hat off to you however because this video should be a model for ALL future presenters. Thank you, it was a pleasure to sit back and even take notes - simply wonderful! AC4PS.
Great video, Thinking of buying the IC7300 and using the remote control function. Your video has made me decide to go for it, with software and tuning knob. Greetings from Luleå. (the remote site is 20 km above the arctic circle, 185 km from here) 73 de SM2OTU
Brilliant !!! Thank you !! This is exactly the way a set up video instruction should be done. Direct to the point and very informative without the fluff.
Exhalently explained and presented - Thank you. At seventy four I'm not the sharpest tool in the box in these matters now but, "Got it". Looking forward to receiving my copy from M&L & Sons The only thing I didn't see was that you must not connect the USB cable between the PC and transceiver until the driver has been installed.
I don’t have one yet, but that’s the rig and capability I want. Thank you for walking through all the settings to make it work. A lot of time and effort went into making this video and I greatly appreciate it!! 73
Most computers still come with CD/DVD players. Don't you have any DVDs? Although, I was a little annoyed that I couldn't immediately download the software after I purchased it.
@@KendraAndTheLaw I was not able to download the full software release from the Icom web; just the upgrade partial vertion, which require a pre-install of the full version. So I used an external Asus usb dvd player...
External USB CD/DVD drives are inexpensive, very useful, and if your system does not have a CD/DVD drive, spend the $25 on an external drive. You can copy the install files from the CD to a directory and put away the CD.
Very clear good explanation, the only big problem is setting up port forwarding with your router, this is the nightmare part imo...if anyone knows how to sort if for a vodafone one I would gladly like to know !
I would also recommend using an external DDNS registry service like NO-IP.com or dydns.com to have your own host name that will always connect to your router no matter if the router address changes or not, as the router uses a client to keep the dynamic IP address linked to your personal hostname.
I had to order this Rs-BA1 V 2 software and have it delivered to be by courier, I had to borrow a friends 8 year old Laptop that had CD Rom drive, make an ISO and put it on USB to be able to install it on my laptop that has no form of optical drive in this day and age and I have not yet installed it as I'll have to wait until the weekend possibly when I get time. Anyway I really laughed my head off when I saw that this software is only about 60 Mb, yes 60 MB you could download it in seconds yet I had to get it couriered , Icom only allow you to download the updates, also around 60 Mb, you couldn't make this crap up ! unbelievable ! I'll post back my installation and setup experience, no doubt it will be tonnes of fun.
Hi Bob, i seem to have it all set up and running now, for anyone who doesn't want to buy the tuning knob, if you click in the middle of the the box you can then use the page up /page down keys, and i suggest either changing the resolution on hf to 100hz i 1khz, it saves a lot of twiddling...or key pushing...Fred g4vvq.
Hi there, I have adisc that came with the radio, would that be the software isc, the radio is about 1 year old, and without me going into it what lead is used to connect radio to laptop, does that come with the radio, is it ethernet or usb lead....I was thinking of using my radio in shack about 120 feet away and using one of there mains coupling links, so the internet actually goes through the mains leads....from Fred g4vvq in Essex.
Its prety amazing that in 2020, there is still no digital download available for this software AND it cost's $150 for a piece of software that really should come with the radios that they sell. Kind of a slap in the face to their customers if you ask me.
Thank you sir. But it would be better if your speech would be more slow. In any case grate video. Do remember you are broadcasting all over the world. Thank you again, rw1m.
I've only just started the video and I already have to say it starts off so entertaining. When my newly ordered software arrives I will return for the full viewing. Well produced! What mic do you have plugged into the 7300? Thanks!
@@f.allenrisler5303 He's using the Mic / Speaker from the laptop itself....though you can also connect a headset as well and set it to be your default Mic / Speaker
It is KEY to install the USB drivers from the ICOM website BEFORE connecting the USB cable between the PC and rig, otherwise Windows will install whatever drivers it thinks will work from the Web - WRONG! Do this USB Com and USB AUDIO Codec installation BEFORE starting the process that Bob that describes in the video. Also of note is that when 13.8V is attached to the IC-7300 - even with the power off - the internal USB circuitry is powered on - so don't think you can connect the cable and leave the IC-7300 off and avoid Windows installing the wrng drivers - the PC sees the IC-7300 as turned on, even when you haven't turned it on. It has to be like that so that you can remotely turn the rig on. For more info, I have written a full installation manual that is available from the files area of the IC-7300 Yahoogroup. 73 Ed Durrant - DD5LP / VK2JI / G8GLM.
Thank you very much for your detailed video! It helped me a lot one the software setup on both ends, server and client. Some problems I had: 1. To conect on the remote PC, the radio must not be Busy, so, disconect the server pc from the radio on the Client window. 2. On the remote PC, at the Remote Control screen, the menu Options > connect Setting, the Conection must be select as USB, the same as configured on the Server PC (i imagined that as a remote cliente, this field would be set to Remote - it is not).

hello, I am interested in the program and its graph, do you think that it is compatible with ICOM IC 706? thanks to you 73 "of 16 BG002 op alain belgium
Thanks for the video. I am lost at the remote laptop setup. Since yours was already setup in your video everything works. For me, the laptop will not allow a radio setup or a server setup. I have opened ports on my router, but I cannot connect. Any suggestions?
Thank you for Video. On Windows 11, I needed to log into Command Prompt as Administrator then ran command "net user administrator /active:YES". Note space after administrator.
@@N2GJ Thank you Gerry. Thats the part I was confused about. Can't change bands if the radio only has 1 hf output.... well, technically you could. Bye bye finals. Lol.🙂
Hello, I have a physical PTT footswitch connected to the radio, It does not work when using the RSBA1, is there any setting to configure to make it work or is not compatible with the RSBA1? thank you
Not sure if Im understanding correctly. Does the rs-ba1 have to be installed on the (non-laptop) home computer first, then installed on the (remoted) laptop ?
Most routers can use a DynDNS service to "publish" their current IP that the provider has assigned upon the last connection. That way you can access your home computer from anywere by a logical (and unique) NAME without having to know the current IP. Whenever a new connection is established between your home computer (router) and your ISP, the router will update that information. That way you also do NOT need to remotely access your home computer via TeamViewer from some hotel with an unknown network where somebody might intercept your login credentials and more!!!!!
Hello, nice video but i have a question . But at home the ic 7300 must always on the power switch i understand that. But must be at home also a laptop or pc also on connected with the ic7300 the whole day on?
The IC-7300 must have a permanent 12V supply to be accessed remotely. It does not need to be switched on, as a remote command can be sent to do this. The attached PC does need to be switched on while controlling the radio. If you preferred not to leave the PC powered all the time, we would suggest a remote Wi-Fi power socket. The computer can then be switched on from your remote device, you need to set the PC so that it boots up and runs BA1 software automatically on power up. It is also a good idea to have remote desktop access to the PC to change settings if necessary.
I thought the installation required a serial key/code. I'm assuming that was the portion blurred out in the video when you held up the CD. However, at no point in the video did I see a need for this. Is this not needed for installation? Did I miss something?
I found the instructions by ICOM and N3JF superior to any other BA-1 software install video. Still, i cant find video strictly for IC-7800 line and have to just know the 7800 is superior to all the others because 7800 line has BUILT IN server....... no need for CI V thingy and can do rig to computer with only ONE wire, not even needing separate audio wires. N3JF dry delivery with no stutter is great and examples on screen are needed and wonderful. My huge screen monitor also allowed me to read those. Go to the best.
At 3:25 you speak of doing that thing in the command prompt. I did exactly what you said. I got a notice saying this: NET USER [username [password | *] [options]] [/DOMAIN] username {password | *} /ADD [options] [/DOMAIN] username [/DELETE] [/DOMAIN] username [/TIMES:{times | ALL}] username [/ACTIVE: {YES | NO}] Icom says the errors I am getting when I try to install this is a windows problem. It will not let me install says I don't have permission. What else do I have to do to get Admin privlages to install the program.
Hi Bob, i am trying to set uo port forwarding but i dont know what to put in where it says internal and external numbers, what are they and where can i find them please,,,,and when the remote pc tries to connect to me what do they put in to connect, ip address of my bt hub? ends with 254 i think....F g4vvq
Fantastic video. Well produced and easy to understand. I am having a problem using the mode buttons on the remote software. I'm using 10 meter SSB. I cannot deselect the PSK and DV buttons as they are greyed out and do not respond. Is there a setting I need to change? KB1ZYI
Just watched your video which I followed to the letter, but unfortunately, something I did, (obviously), turns the 7300 to transmit mode, as soon as I power on the RS-BA1. I can not find the reason and i can not make it stop transmitting, only by turning it off via the the upper left button. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I suspect Microsoft has changed a few things since you made this video. The string entered at the command prompt turning on administrator functions returns a syntax error. The computer suggested options include user ID and password, and commands that don't seem to correlate with your suggested string. Still struggling through...
I use RS-BA1 software on Win 10 and never had to enable the administrator account though I'm sure there is no problem in doing so. Watch out for Linksys routers (EA4500). I've had issues with port forwarding spontaneously not working that were resolved with a router reboot. No problems with a Netgear router.
Hi, with the RS-BA1 or version 2 do you need the RC28 unit or can you TX without it? is it a simple case of (using a mouse) clicking on the TX icon on the screen?
Anyone know how many installs you get with this software? I have my Desktop, portable and laptop. Skimming throught the instructions and all i've found is something about a "backup" can be made? I'd rather choose wisely if its only one install per copy.
My problem is when I go to connect the radio in the radio tab I get a "Real Serial Device Error" the server is connected but it won't connect with the radio in the radio tab.
If I’m on holiday, and on the beach looking at all the trim, the LAST thing I’m going to be doing is jumping on the radio listening to an bunch of old geezers talking about their local weather.
Hello great video, I have managed to set up locally so i can control the radio from the computer it's connected to so no issues there, but i have installed on my laptop connected to my phones wifi added port forwarding and connected no problem, but there is no radio in radio list any ideas Thanks
Hi, i've followed the instruction and the laptop is connected to the Icom 7300. But after 2-3 seconds of receiving the radio goes by itself directly in TX mode and there is NO way to go back in Receiving.. What could be the problem...? Tks 73 de IU1CYF
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
This software wouldn't switch my IC-7300 to USB-D (it goes just to USB) so we probably are a SOL :( Unless there is some trick "how to" this software is a useless garbage to me!
Are use Google remote on my iPad to connect to my laptop, which is running WSJT-X to operate FT8. Works great. Has anyone had any luck running RS-BA1 on the remote laptop and connected to the laptop. Using Google remote or similar remote access software from the iPad?
So we have the latest version of the icom software and the IC-7300 is confirmed to connect to the computer. However it seems to only be running over a LAN, we go to setup and click the "Setup for server pc" and we have port forwarded 50001 50002 50003 to the machine and register as a server PC. However there is no IP address displayed on the ic-7300 radio list instead it only lists "local" where at 16:11 in the video it should show the external IP address on our version it just says "Local", we have the latest version of the software purchased frmo Martin and Lynch but the UI seems to differ to the one displayed in the video. Please help we have failed to get it to work after many hours of frustration.
@@pmr446 You are correct, this video is for RS-BA1 version 1...so the software will be different. Speaking to a colleague he has suggested what you will need to establish is the IP address of the computer. Rather than having a protracted conversation through me, it might be worth either following this up with either emailing/phoning Martin Lynch or ourselves on 01227 741741 or sales@icomuk.co.uk.
Its seems to be connecting and tracking frequency. But every time I connect, within 5 seconds, the transmitter turns on. I can't find what setting is causing this. Any ideas?
ODDLY, I had the BA-ver2 software downloaded, somehow the instructions suddenly need the DISK. I had the disk, so went on using the disk without trying download. This set up is NOT easy, but follow N3JF and listen repeatedly.
