Icom is pleased to launch the RC-28 IP remote control system that allows a user to control selected Icom HF Amateur radio transceivers through an IP Network. This new system includes the RS-BA1 remote control software together with a remote control USB encoder which provides users with a radio operator’s style interface for controlling this new software product.

Introducing the RS-BA1 Version 2 Dualwatch Remote Control Software

Update:  Dec 4 2018

The RS-BA1 remote control software gained popularity by allowing Amateur radio operators to operate selected Icom radios from a PC via IP. A new version of this software is now available called RS-BA1 Version 2 which will allow users to take advantage of some of the features of HF radios such as the IC-7610, IC-7851 and IC-7850 including dualwatch operation and dual spectrum scope.


The RS-BA1 Version 2 will allow the dualwatch operation and dual spectrum scopes with waterfall functions* to be used on a remote PC. MAIN and SUB spectrum scopes can be observed on the RS-BA1 Version 2 at the same time.

The RS-BA1 Version 2 can be used with Icom single receiver transceivers, however, we advise that you consult with the product leaflet for the level of compatibility and available functions.

RC-28 Remote Control USB Encoder

The RC-28 utilises the same tuning knob and encoder used on Icom HF radios, (identical to the IC-7000) providing a tactile option for the bundled RS-BA1 IP control software. The table top controller includes a sturdy PTT and two user-programmable function keys. The RC-28 is not a standalone control for Icom radios and may only be used with the RS-BA1 software.

home network Remotely Control Icom Transceivers through an IP network

The included RS-BA1 control software allows you to use the radio installed in another room using your home network or even from a remote location over the Internet.

Low voice latency (caused by the RS-BA1) provides the same operational experience as using an actual radio.

Advanced remote control interface tailored to Icom transceivers

  • The RS-BA1 consists with two component software applications; Systems configuration software and remote control software. The system configuration software sets up IP address, audio sampling rate and other settings. The remote control software provides a user interface, similar to the radio's front panel, and allows you to control the radio from a remote location.
  • The IC-7600, IC-7200 or IC-9100 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.
  • The IC-7800 or IC-7700 can be connected to a PC with a RS-232C cable plus S/P DIF or ACC cable.
  • The IC-756PRO111, IC-746PRO, IC-7400 or IC-7000 can be connected to a PC with an audio cable and RS-232C cable through CT-17 CI-V level converter*
