SETTING UP YOUR RADIOS BOTH SOFTWARE VERSIONS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE ICOM
IC 705, IC 7610, AND IC 9700.  ALL THREE OF THESE RADIOS ARE OF THE SAME
GENERATION SDR AND ARE ABLE TO CONNECT TO YOUR HOME IP NETWORK, USING THEIR
ETHERNET PORT OR A WI FI CONNECTION IC 705.  SETTING UP ANY OF THE
COMPATIBLE ICOM RADIOS IS THE SAME AS SETTING UP THE RS BA1, THE ICOM
WINDOWS PC SOFTWARE.  I HAVE THESE THREE RADIOS, AND THEY WERE ALREADY SET
UP FOR THE RS BA1.  THEREFORE, I WENT INTO THE RADIOS MENU AND WROTE DOWN
THE IP ADDRESS, THE PORTS MORE ON THIS LATER, THE USERNAME, AND THE
PASSWORD.  THEN I WENT INTO THE APP AND ADDED ALL THREE RADIOS, AND I WAS
ABLE TO CONNECT TO ALL OF THEM IMMEDIATELY.  KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU CAN ONLY
CONNECT TO ONE RADIO AT A TIME.  IF YOU INTEND TO USE THESE APPS ONLY AT
HOME, YOU DONT NEED TO CONFIGURE ANY PORT FORWARDING INTO YOUR ROUTER.  BUT
IF YOU WANT TO USE IT REMOTELY OVER THE INTERNET, THE PORT FORWARDING IS
NECESSARY.  AND IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE COMPATIBLE RADIO, YOU HAVE TO
CONFIGURE THEM WITH DIFFERENT CONTROL, SERIAL, AND AUDIO PORTS.  FOR
EXAMPLE, MY IC 7610 USES THE DEFAULT ICOM UDP PORTS 50001 CONTROL, 50002
SERIAL, AND 50003 AUDIO.  I CHANGED MY IC 9700 TO USE 50004, 50005, AND
50006, AND MY IC 705 TO USE 50007, 50008, AND 50009.  THUS, IN MY HOME
ROUTER I HAVE THREE PORTS FORWARDING CONFIGURED THE INTERNAL LAN IP ADDRESS
