You can access most functions and modes of your transceiver, including interference rejection functions and IF filter settings, using the CI-V commands. You can also enjoy dualwatch operation and dual spectrum scopes with waterfall functions on some models[^2^]. In this article, we will show you how to set up and use the RS-BA1 software with your Icom transceiver.

An Icom transceiver that is compatible with the RS-BA1 software. Some models, such as the IC-7610, IC-9700, IC-7851, and IC-7700, have a built-in network function and only need an Ethernet cable to connect to a PC[^1^]. Other models, such as the IC-7300, IC-7100, and IC-705, need a USB cable to connect to a PC[^2^].
A PC that runs the RS-BA1 server software. This PC should be connected to the same network as your transceiver or have a static public IP address or Dynamic DNS if you want to access it over the Internet[^2^]. The PC should meet the minimum system requirements for the RS-BA1 software[^2^].
A PC that runs the RS-BA1 client software. This PC can be in another room or in a remote location, as long as it has an Internet connection. The PC should also meet the minimum system requirements for the RS-BA1 software[^2^].
An optional RC-28 remote control USB encoder. This device allows you to use a tuning knob and encoder similar to those on Icom HF radios, as well as a PTT and two user-programmable function keys. The RC-28 can only be used with the RS-BA1 client software[^1^].
How to Set Up
To set up the RS-BA1 software, follow these steps:
Install the RS-BA1 server software on the PC that is connected to your transceiver. You can download the latest version of the software from Icom America's website or Icom Japan's website. Follow the installation instructions and enter your product ID when prompted.
Install the RS-BA1 client software on the PC that you want to use for remote control. You can use the same installer file as the server software. Follow the installation instructions and enter your product ID when prompted.
Configure your transceiver's settings according to your model's instruction manual. For example, you may need to enable the network function, set the IP address, adjust the audio level, or update the firmware.
Configure your server PC's settings according to the RS-BA1 instruction manual. For example, you may need to set up port forwarding, firewall exceptions, or audio devices.
Configure your client PC's settings according to the RS-BA1 instruction manual. For example, you may need to enter your server PC's IP address or hostname, select your transceiver model, or adjust your audio devices.
Connect your optional RC-28 device to your client PC if you have one. You can assign functions to its buttons using the RS-BA1 client software.
