Comments on IC-705 remote for Android

★★★★★ Toonces Cat · Oct 1, 2025

This works well with my IC-705 but, I would like to see 2 things. 1. bigger PTT button 2. Able to connect to IC-7300. IC-7300 does have the ability to use a computer for the RSBA1 server. Also, Wfview can be a RSBA1 server which your software connects to when it connects to the IC-705. All that is needed is a change of the Icom CIV radio address. Thank you! 73's

About the bse IC-705 app on the store. Not perfectg yet but this is being passionately worked on by the developer. Follow the instructions carefully, at the setup stage pressing write will cause the app to exit, this is unintuitive, but normal behavior. When running drag the waterfall to tune by the pre-determined step (not the wave form!). Dragging the waveform causes a change in step depending on how high or low in the waveform you drag. Already very functional with more to come. Thanks!

I want to love this, but apparently it installs fine on my Oukitel tablet but the errors out that my display resolution doesn't meet the minimum. I'd really rather use this on the larger tablet screen. On the phone it runs but the UI is horrible. Scrolling goes the wrong way and the initial menu screen is far from intuitive. The main screen is not centered. Control knobs are too small. Text input uses a custom keyboard not the Android keyboard. Willing to bug report and beta test. De KC1PZA
