- We welcome Ray Novak N9JA Senior Sales Manager of ICOM on the Ham Radio Crash Course to talk about a few of the computer interfaces for the highly anticipated IC-705 amateur radio. Ray demonstates how the ICOM RS-BA1 and Remote software can communicate with the IC-705 over wireless LAN (WLAN).

Ok, this is the nudge I needed to pull the trigger on buying the IC-705.
Ray Novak is one of the most genuine and giving person in the industry.
Thank you Jack, I really appreciate the nice words.
Achievement Unlocked
Great video on the IC-705. Really makes me to think about buying one vs one coming out of China.
Very cool.. Definitely making the decision to get one easier by the day. :D
I have the Japanese version and did the mode for C type charger and alc board. Great radio 🎉
Can we have a 7300 with all these features?
Kudos to Icom ! You really investing in the software side of these radios,
Main Trading just informed me that my 705 is in the mail-awesome! Thanks Josh!
I bet you are excited!
One of the limitations with all the Icom radios, is that the network protocol is not documented. That means to use the network you are limited to using RS-BA1. No other software works. Icom will fall behind here, since all new radios from other manufactures do publish the ethernet connection info.
Hey guys, I don't know much about amateure radio (working on getting my license) but I do know about networks and I'd like to offer a couple ideas.
First, to get Josh on your radio, you could setup a VPN on your network, there is no super easy way to do this, but it would act as if Josh was on your local network at your home (will not work for the AT&T hotspot).
2nd, setting up a VPN so you could access your radio remotely is by far the safest way to do this, the traffic is encrypted from point to point and less of a chance someone could see what you are doing. Feel free to reach out if I can help in any way!
Cant wait to see your review of this rig Josh. It looks amazing!
Great video, Josh. Well done.
Thanks!
BTW, although it is not documented, the IC-705 works with a baud rate of 115200. Thus you should set this in the software you are using. The spectrum will be much faster.
Really? Oh man, I'm going to try it. And yes, that faster baud rate will get you a much faster waterfall in software.
I still don’t understand why they force a virtual serial port over WiFi or usb. Both of those support way faster speeds. Why use serial at all???
Oh boy. As one can see from the video, the frame rate of the spectrum at 19200 is about 1/10th of what you would get at 115200. Since at 115200 on the 7300, gives about 4 frames a second, we see here that the refresh rate is about 1 frame every 3 seconds. This assumes it will work, since all the other radios with a CIV output requires 115200 otherwise it will not work. This is a major limitation of this radio. Also, the CIV documentation shows that VFO B is supported in the memory modes, but exactly like on the 9700, it does not even though it is documented. There should be no reason other than a design flaw that this cannot be run at 115200. Tom va2fsq.
If Icom does not fix Bluetooth
Certainly Elecraft will do it for the KX4
Awesome, bought one today
Awesome!
Hi Josh,
Always very good info when Ray demos Icom's products. I saw Ray's call while I was on 20M FT8, but couldn't make a contact. Ray mentioned you helped him with the waterfall for WSJT-X. Have you done a video on the settings, and if not, can you mention the settings you suggested? Thanks. You and the family stay safe. 73 WJ3U
I think it would still be better just connecting a raspberry pi direct to the 705 and VNC into the pi over WiFi. Much easier and more flexible. No need for a portable router.
Is there a difference between the American ICOM IC 705 and the Japanese version of the 705?
Hi Ray, Most Home Routers have a Port access called DMZ or De-militarized Port. Basically you say which IP the unit is. (this case 705) then you set the IP on the router to that unit. The AT&T router should give the 705 access to the internet, only thing is that now this unit (705) has access to the Wide open internet! No firewall. So people can access it. That means EVERYBODY. Just a thought to test it. I would not make it a permanent solution. Hope this helps! Mike K
Mike, thank you for the tip. Not sure I want to open it up as every RS-BA1 user will want to test the IC-705 before they buy.... I would never get a chance to use my own radio. LOL
Does the WIFI LAN connection for HRD functionality need to connect VIA the Icom Remote Utility, or can it connect directly?
Can you talk across the us on 10w on HF?
I have the ID52A in the Next Update for this HT need to have the Ability to Connect to a Bluetooth Router,
Please tell where is the MacOSX or Linux software - ? Think about Unbuntu - where or when would Icom publish OSF in Github? Then we could make our own variants.
It looks like you have to shell out $150 for RS-BA1 to get the virtual serial and audio ports over wireless lan? That's an important point that got skipped over... You would hope Icom wouldn't paywall a feature like that.
Excellent video. What's the loop antenna that Ray's using?!? 🙂
This software is also available for mac ? 73
Why cant you connect your laptop direct to the IC 705? Why the need for an additional LAN?
You can. But Ray wanted to make it wireless to his computer. Which it was.
@@HamRadioCrashCourse So, the only way to wirelessly connect is via another LAN? ie. the portable Lan box?
New sub. Saw you on mikes channel. I want to get into hamm radio. Can you recommend a starter setup?
I love this - but I wish that they would have included wifi-direct, because then you wouldn't need a router.
Of course what I wanted to know was the last thing on the video. End of September.
How well does the loop antenna work?
Are the manuals better than the usual ICOM manual?
I think they’re great so far. There are advanced manuals online.
My Phone have a WiFi hotspot,
But still no antenna tuner....However, I have to admit the Bluetooth functionality is interesting
I still have alot I'll say about this when the review times swings around. Generally, you want a resonant antenna with your QRP rigs.
There is an external tuner port on the 705. Icom will be releasing the tuner (AH-705) "soon".
I bought an elecraft Atu-1 to go with mine
Can someone please translate this video from Greek to English, thanks?
My 705 won't connect to a windows laptop over bluetooth, only android. And that's what the manual says too. So 'software developers' needing to update to work with audio from the 705 over bluetooth would include Microsoft and Icom :D
