I had to purchase a separate (here we go again.) device. If you think you can get by with a virtual port splitter, good luck with that, I've been there and tried to do that with Eltima and VSPE and even West Mountain. If you don't have a middleman-pc and attempt to use a logging or digital mode application, forget it.
#RS BA1 V2 SERIAL#
You get only ONE virtual serial port for control.
they had to ditch that and re-purchase V2. You get incremental upgrades in the same version (there will be three of those). If you consider other possible accessories to make this all work, you will be out a good chunk of change.Ģ. You have to pay for the software, and it's NOT cheap at $150. Let me start with the negatives, since there ARE some.ġ. I am happy with the way it all works, however. I didn't want to complicate things with another PC, and found that it only made things MORE complicated in the end. There are other options besides RS-BA1 in that case. If you don't have a 7610, 7700 or 7800, you will need a PC between the rig and your remote.
This review focuses on "Life without a middleman-PC". This review is purely my opinion, your requirements and operating habits will be different. Game Changer! Freedom and FUN once you survive the BUMPS The tech related how as a six-year old, her grandfather let her talk on ham radio to her uncle in the service in Japan.) (My provider had a note on my account that this was for ham radio. It's the computers in between that are tricky. My recommendation is to investigate other remote control solutions and be prepared to spend some time and money. I could have stopped there, but I wanted the whole package to work for $150. Ironically, the Team View app provided control of the radio using the RS-BA1 software on the base station radio. Nowhere in any of the four computers I used does that address appear. She was the one to figure out that I needed the IP address of the modem, not the computer. I have a local, family-owned Internet Service Provider with top-drawer customer support.
#RS BA1 V2 MANUAL#
The manual guided me to the address of the computer, easy to find if you follow the manual. The biggest issue was the IP address needed to connect to the base station. The manual is really pretty good, but does not capture the steps I needed. Add to that the way that Windows 10 changes the interface (I'm a Mac guy). Since every router and ISP is different, it is difficult to predict the settings. I spent several months moving back and forth between the base and remote stations (two hours apart) trying to get the settings right especially opening all three port forwardings on 1) the router, 2) the base station modem, and 3) my remote station modem.
