for a remote station using rs-ba1 software, what hardware is required for audio?

For a remote station using RS-BA1, the audio hardware needed is a speaker and a microphone, or a headset , connected to the PC’s audio jack; Icom also recommends using the on-board sound chipset rather than an external USB audio device.

What you need

• A PC at the remote station that can run the software.

• A speaker and microphone, or a headset, for audio in and out.

• The PC’s built-in audio hardware is preferred.

Practical note

Icom notes that if you use an external sound device such as a USB audio converter, the CPU load may be higher. In plain terms, a simple built-in audio setup is usually the safest choice for a remote station.

Connection setup

The audio device should be connected to the computer’s audio ports, and then selected inside RS-BA1’s audio settings. That is the basic requirement for handling receive and transmit audio at the remote station.
