Captain Darren … Nice job but you should have shown the “Port Forwarding” required on the Internet Router to the 7610. Also if using DHCP you should go into the router and “Reserve” the address assigned by DHCP to the 7610 or else there is a chance the router can assign a different address to the 7610 when dhcp expires at which point the RS-BA1 Remote device will not be able to connect and establish a session.
Yeah, you're right. I don't have a static IP address and then one day I tried to connect and it didn't work because the IP address changed. I had to wait until the next time I came home to update the IP address.
@@DarrenN4VFR if you go into your router configuration it should allow use to “Reserve” the address in dhcp so the 7610 always gets the same ip. If you statically assign it instead of using DHCP Reservation you must make sure it’s NOT in the DHCP pool of addresses otherwise you will get conflicts. Best is to “reserve” in dhcp on your router - VA3VMD….. Vito
Thank you for the great video. One thing that's not clear is that you said the 7610 has a built-in server. Do I need to have a Windows computer running in the shack when I want to operate remote, or do I just need a Windows computer at the remote location?
Thanks for the video. I have an IC-7610 incoming this week... A couple questions: You said you have Macs, but your video shows PC... Are you using Boot Camp or something on your Mac? Also, your network address for the 7610 was a local IP address (192.168....) Wouldnt this need to be a WAN address when you're connecting from Dallas? Thanks again, 73!
@Chris Miller sorry for the confusion. I use the built in Server feature on the IC7610 which doesn't require a computer to remote into the IC7610. The RSBA1 version 2 is not Mac compatible. With regards to the IP address, you will enter the local IP address to your network i.e. 192.168.x.x. When you use the RSBA1 software within your LAN, you can enter the 192.168.x.x in the RSBA1 However, trying to reach the IC7610 from a remote location say like from a friend's house or even when tethering from my mobile phone you will need to use the WAN access. In my case thats 99.99.x.x.
Thanks for the video I’ll have toget my radio working remote as never done it yet , hopefully can work the radio from my iPhone if this is possible ! Am terrible with computer stuff 👍
You won't be able to run remote on your phone to the IC7610. It requires a windows computer with the RSBA1 installed on to the windows computer, the you'll be able to remote in. For example, I'm in Phoenix right now. I can use my laptop and remote in to my IC7610 which is physically in Jacksonville, FL. A computer does not need to be connected to the IC7610. There is already a built in server in the IC7610.
@@DarrenN4VFR Thanks Darren , thought I could use my iPhone while in work todo remote once I get all set up , I’ll need too buy the RSBA1 and take a laptop too work then in my truck , Thanks de Mw6hnn another Darren 👍
Hi, thank you for the video. I am now considering arranging a remote connection to IC-7610. What is confusing me is the set-up manual of RS-BA1. It says that you need to port-forward #50001 through #50003 even with your client PC. As far as I could observe, you seem not to do such a thing for you can access your IC7610 from a hotel! Would you please advise me if I really need to open the ports for the client PC to operate the rig through the internet? Thank you, de JH9LYC
@Toshiya Mihashi Yes, you will need to port forward 50001 through 50003. I did them for both the client computer and also my laptop that I take with me during my travels.
9700 also has built in server if you want vhf uhf remote
Really nice job. I will set mine up tomorrow. Just got the radio today.
Outstanding, thanks for the video this is why I bought my 7610. G1OJJ

Great video. Is there a way I can do this from my android phone instead of the computer? Thanks
No. It requires the RSBA1 software Nd thats why I'm buying a Flex SDR.
I'm a bit confused, do you have 2 shacks? 73's JD
John, lol yes. I have to QTHs with ham shacks.
Chief do you still have the Expert Electronics SunSDR2 DX radio. If not, why.
Still have it. Since I rearranged my Shack, I have RFI in my transmit. I need to move my audio rack away from my Mercury IIIS Amplifier.
@@DarrenN4VFR Thanks for the quick

Do you still love your 7610? I'm thiking of grabbing one. any screen issues?
..
Yep! Still using the IC7610 and no screen issues for me. I think the newer batch of 7610's has been corrected with screen issures.

@@DarrenN4VFR Hi, thank you very much for the feed-back that much helps!
Did you get it working with Mac or iPad?
Not on any apple products. RSBA1 is only compatible with Windows Platforms.
@@DarrenN4VFR Cool deal. I am going to try SDR control. On my soon to own IC-7610.
Are you able to use VOX with this setup? (de AA1K)
RSBA1 does not have VOX operations.
