The RS-BA1 V2 allows you to use your ham shack at a distance, whether you are in another room in your home or in another state. As long as you have internet access, you can get on the air.
Low latency provides the same operational experience as using an actual radio plus high quality audio over an IP network.
Most functions and modes of your transceiver, including interference rejection functions and IF filter settings, can be controlled using CI-V commands.
Remote power ON/OFF function wakes up the IC-7600 from standby mode.
This Icom exclusive software gives you most functions and modes from your Icom transceiver in your ham shack.
Several separate windows for CW keyer settings, voice memory, SSB passband settings for both transmit and receive, and filter settings.
Slider control or tuning knob control screens are selectable for RF power, CW pitch, RF gain, and SQL and AF level.
Rx Voice recording function.
View the spectrum scope with the waterfall function. It provides a high speed, high resolution spectrum scope equivalent to the main unit (For a single band on only the IC-7851, 7850 and 7300).
The IC-7851, IC-7850, IC-7800 or IC-7700 has a built-in Network function, so only an Ethernet cable is needed.
The IC-9100, IC-7600, IC-7410, IC-7300, IC-7200 or IC-7100 can be connected to a PC with a USB cable and the input/output audio signal and CI-V command is sent through the USB cable.
Depending on your transceiver, some functions or modes cannot be used, or you need to update the transceiver’s firmware. Please use the latest firmware version of the transceiver.

The rating was dropped 1 star because I did have quite a time getting it to work properly. But it does work! And it DOES enable one to utilize their 7300 and antenna from a computer connected to the Internet basically ANYWHERE! In some ways, I find using the software easier/better than sitting at the radio itself. It certainly makes it easy to use one's iPods to hear received transmissions and an inexpensive computer mike sounds great to those you are communicating with. AND if you wish the full VFO feel, purchase the RC-28!

I already own RemoteRig, a hardware based remote system operating in tandem with HRD or other software, but wanted to try a vendor specific software app.
I have connected to my 7610, 9700, and 7100 with various results, the 7610 via built in server and USB the 7100 connected via USB, the 9700 built in server via LAN.
its an OK program,the GUI is fairly nice,here are the cons--
AF volume control does not respond on any radio.
The 7610 cannot be switched or controlled.
in dial watch mode
the 9700 cannot be switched or controlled in satellite mode
Since I am retired I no longer need remote access to the home shack from work, so I wont be able to check out true WAN remote functions, but in hindsight, I would pass on this program.
