RS-BA1 Version 2 IP Remote Control Software

RS-BA1 Version 2 is the latest software of the previous RS-BA1. Allowing you to remotely operate a selected transceiver from another room or remote location, the RS-BA1 Version 2 along with the RC-28 makes a great accessory to compliment your Amateur transceiver.

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.

The Software that Launched the SDR Revolution in Ham Radio

FlexRadio Systems PowerSDR™ software provides all DSP and hardware control functions for FlexRadio Systems’ FLEX-1500, FLEX-3000* and FLEX-5000* software defined radios.  While software experimentation is encouraged, no programming experience is ever required to enjoy your software defined radio.  The complete application is provided in compiled form so that you can simply download, install and run it.  Written in a combination of ANSI C and C#, FlexRadio PowerSDR software is easy to learn and modify.  Source code is available to encourage amateur SDR research and experimentation.  The capabilities of the FlexRadio PowerSDR software are limited only by your imagination.

*FLEX-5000 manufacturing discontinued May 2013.
*FLEX-3000 manufacturing discontinued October 2014.

SmartSDR for Windows

SmartSDR™ for Windows sets a new bar for visual radio display and interactive control.  Following the simple is better rule, we built a new graphical user interface that is easy to learn and instinctual to use.  Multiple high-definition, real-time spectral displays are at the heart of the SmartSDR experience.  Intuitive controls are hidden from view to minimize clutter yet are instantly available when needed.

SmartSDR is the core of the Signature Series family, organizing all of the signal processing power in the FLEX-6000 Signature Series radios into an advanced reusable framework.  First the receiver subsystems including preselectors, preamplifiers and digitizers in the FLEX-6000 are virtualized as reusable hardware blocks called Spectral Capture Units (SCUs) with specific capabilities.  SmartSDR understands the capabilities of each SCU and how to harness its power.

What distinguishes SmartSDR is the simplification of these advanced concepts into an elegant graphical user interface that places the operator in complete control.  Want to create an additional Panadapter to watch for possible 10m band openings?  No problem, simply click to add the Panadapter and SmartSDR directs everything from the advanced signal processing software down to the filters in the SCU to form an optimized receiver.  Want to decode all of the CW signals on 40m while working DX on 20m?  It’s just a few clicks away with SmartSDR and one of many SmarSDR open API enabled applications.
