Operate your Icom IC-705 remotely
RemoteMyShack puts your Icom IC-705 in your browser: operate it from your phone, tablet or laptop at yourcall.remotemyshack.com, with two-way audio, its spectrum scope and waterfall, and the controls you use at the shack. A small agent on a computer next to the radio connects to it by WiFi or USB; there's no VPN or port forwarding to set up.
What works with the IC-705
| Connects by | WiFi or USB |
|---|---|
| Bands | 160m, 80m, 60m, 40m, 30m, 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m, 10m, 6m, 2m, 70cm |
| Transmit | Yes, with push-to-talk from your device |
| Spectrum scope | Yes: the radio's own scope and waterfall, streamed to your screen (more) |
| D-STAR | Yes: a DV mode button, using the D-STAR settings stored in the radio |
| Remote power-on | No (which radios can) |
| Tested | Yes: we've operated it ourselves |
Tested over WiFi and USB. Its WiFi is off while the radio is off, so it has to be switched on at the shack.
What you can do from the console
- Tune, change band, mode, filter and DATA mode, and read the S-meter from your phone or laptop.
- Hear the radio, with two-way audio on transceivers: hold to talk, with automatic unkey if your connection drops.
- Adjust RF gain, preamp, attenuator, AGC, noise blanker and noise reduction where the radio has them; the radio's own speaker is turned down while the agent is connected. On a FlexRadio the RF gain slider sets SmartSDR's AGC threshold; on a Hermes Lite 2 it sets the receive gain (LNA).
- Send CW from the console with the radio's keyer (the agent keys a Hermes Lite 2 itself), and RTTY as audio.
- Every transmission is recorded in your transmit log.
Setting it up
Install the agent on a Mac, Windows or Linux computer, or a Raspberry Pi, next to the radio, link it to your account, and open yourcall.remotemyshack.com. These articles walk you through it:
