Our friends at the TX Factor have produced a video that logically goes through the step by set process of remote controlling an Icom Amateur radio, more specifically in this case, the IC-7300
The video shows Bob McCreadie (G0FGX) of TX Films demonstrating:
• Setting up your computer and radio
• Installing the RS-BA1 remote control software
• Accessing the IC-7300
• Introduction to the RC-28 remote controller encoder.
To found out more visit the RC-28 IP Remote Control System page where you will also find a list of compatible Icom HF radios.http://icomuk.co.uk/RC-28/IP-Remote-C…

Both the RC-28 IP Remote Control System and IC-7300
Remotely Control Icom Transceivers through an IP Network
- The RS-BA1 allows you to use the transceiver installed in another room using your home network or even from a remote location over the Internet.
- Low latency, 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 certain transceivers from the standby mode.
Advanced Remote Control Interface Tailored to Icom Transceivers
- Slider control or tuning knob control screens are selectable for RF power, CW pitch, RF gain, and SQL and AF level.
- The spectrum scope with the waterfall function can be observed on the RS-BA1. (For a single band on only the IC-7851
, 7850 and 7300)
- Rx Voice recording function.
- Optional RC-28 USB remote encoder provides a hardware dial/transmit function for realistic dial operation.
