Remote Controlling the ICOM IC7300 with the RSBA1 software | My Troubles and Troubleshooting efforts

[@abtechgroup]

On day 2 as well - Trying to use the remote on a laptop connecting via internet to a serverPC connected to a 7100. I think my issues are with the router and port forwarding.... Thanks for the video.... some things to try.... 73

[@jeffreyblackman5430]

Got it working finally after a week of trying! Once I figured out my routers public ip and set my home PC to a static ip I went in and created the USB connected radio on my base computer....then created the server on the base. Went to laptop and configured the server on that and finally got the settings correct and bam. Damn this software works very slick once configured correctly!

Good luck buddy Hope You figure it out...73..Great video looks Software related Settings....Hear you on HF..soon👍🏻 Be listening up on HF Bands my good friend 👍🏻

[@DarrenN4VFR]

Right on! When I get back, hopefully I get it working!

Do I really have to press transmitt manually every time I talk? I have bluetooth headset and vox would be perfect but cannot find the option for it.

[@DarrenN4VFR]

I do have to press the spacebar on my laptop to talk. I don't think the RSBA1 supports VOX operations.

Hello - it's been a few months down the line now. Did you get this sorted? I had problems with setting up my Icom IC-R8600 for remote operation. It's definitely not straightforward!

[@DarrenN4VFR]

Not exactly at this QTH, but in Florida where my IC7610 is setup, it works really well with the RSBA1 V2 software. You got that right about not being an easy setup. Too many parameters that can cause the software not to communicate with the radio. 73's de Capt Darren N4VFR

[@jolebole-yt]

There are some issues with this software. The remote computer should be able to connect to the server computer within the same LAN. PC to PC communication within the same LAN is not restricted on any port..after you turn off the dumb Windows firewall. For the Server PC to respond to the remote PC request some service needs to be running at all times on the server PC. And I cant find any Icom services running on the Server PC. Icom instruction manual of their official videos don't mention anything about this. I've been banging my head with this for 2 days. If local LAN connection works, the remote outside of your home will work too once you port forward the three ports. I can't connect at all within my LAN. My Server PC can connect fine with the USB cable going to the 7300. But no remote PC can connect to the server PC.

[@205a2]

I have the same issue. Windows 10, even with the firewall off, I cannot connect locally or via the net. Port forwarding on 50001-50003

[@jolebole-yt]

@@205a2 I'm gonna do some more testing with some apps and see if I can locate what service should respond to the port request and I will post if I get any luck. Acording to ICOM this should be straight forward.. but for some reason its not.

So does the v2 rsba1 with a 7300 allow for remote viewing on a laptop/tablet anywhere away from your QTH

[@DarrenN4VFR]

I use the RSBA1 V2 for my IC7610. Here's a cut and paste on what's new. "New Features With the RS-BA1 Version 2, you can use the dualwatch operation and spectrum scopes with waterfall function as well as observe the MAIN and SUB spectrum scopes. The RS-BA1 Version 2 can also enlarge the panel size (normal or large is selectable), [MUTE] buttons added, clickable indicators to change settings, SUB dial added and RIT tuning knob & TX functions added. The RS-BA1 Version 2 can also still be used with single receiver transceivers. Users who already have the RS-BA1 Version 1 can upgrade to the Version 2. Please note, this is not a downloadable upgrade, but a software disc that needs to be purchased from an authorised Icom dealer. " 73's

Try using a usb headset, that way you know the mic works.

[@thomashenderson603]

When setting up server don’t use you call, use the ip of your computer. Try that. Also you will have to open the port in your router (udp) then find your external IP address, before you can use it remotely in a other place.

[@DarrenN4VFR]

Thank you Thomas! Yup, I plan to do that when I get back home in a couple of days. I also set up my Asus Router Port Forwarding with the ip address and UDP 50001-50003.

[@thomashenderson603]

you will figure it out! maybe something you could show us your second shack setup with antenna?

The new RS-BA1 package now comes with a thumb drive instead of a CD.

[@DarrenN4VFR]

Cool, that's good to know.

[@mikegianfrancesco9431]

Go on the radio it self and make sure acc/usb af output level is not low if its at 50 thats okay

[@DarrenN4VFR]

Yeah, it's 50% default levels. I'll double check when I get back home trouble shooting.

[@mikegianfrancesco9431]

@@DarrenN4VFR okay mine works on the laptop you using remote when you at the hotel make sure thats on regular speakers

[@DarrenN4VFR]

@@mikegianfrancesco9431 gotcha, I will buy some headset once I have the receiver AF working. I just updated my Port Forward using "My ip" to get the ip address. I did this remotely from DFW using TeamViewer.

Forgot to mention sometime team viewer any vpn can cause issues with the remote
