Connecting with fldigi

Fldigi is a modem program for most of the digital modes used by radio amateurs today: CW, PSK, MFSK, RTTY, Hell, DominoEX, Olivia, and Throb are all supported. It can help calibrate a sound card to a time signal and do frequency measurement tests.

apt install fldigi

USB Interface

ICOM Remote access with RS-BA1

Changed USB cables, update the cp2101 driver to the latest 10.1.4.2290 26/11/2018, update IC7300 to latst FW 7300_130. Radio set to 115200, port set to 115200 and it will only comment at 9600.

The RS-BA1 Ver 2.10 has a "Connect Setting" Tab. If I set it to anything other than 4800 9600 or 19200 it will give "Communication failed. Cannot access Radio." the solution is as follows:

To use the spectrum scope with RS-BA1 :
On the IC-7300:

• Unlink USB from REMOTE
• Set baud rate to 115200
• Connect with USB cable

• Go to Connect Setting menu
• -->Set Connection to USB

If the application is already installed and your try to install again without explicitly deleteing it you get this obscure message:

WSJT

The Settings for WSJT are:

• Menu Button -->SET -->Connectors>CI-V>CI-V USB Port and link to remote
• Then back one level and set baud rate to 9600

These setting are incompatible with RS-BA1 and cannot be changed remotely. then the remote wouldn't work. That is how I ended up using the two conections. I wanted to be able to use the remote software for voice and switch over to remote desktop to do digital.
