AA2SD/R Rover July 8, 2024 - This new AP is available from Marcus Roskosch specifically developed for use with selected ICOM Radios. I recently installed and tested this AP with my ICOM 9700 at home and remote located in MD during the July 4th weekend aboard my boat.
As a Rover and Parks on the Air Operator, I sometimes use a local repeater to coordinate my locations and SKEDS. I can also use this AP to check my signal report back to my home location during a VHF Contest. This app uses WiFi or LAN (no USB required or supported) with your radio.
Remote Access to your Radio from around the world without the need for additional Hardware or Software. No Server is needed. It works with your “selected” Icom Radio. The only requirement is a Icom Radio that offers a network interface like the IC-705, IC-9700, IC-7610 or IC-R8600.
My Own experience and testing - downloading the app and installing the software is simple, additionally a few changes are required on the ICOM 9700 .
Working a local repeater from my kitchen table or couch.
Using this AP with your IPAD and remote radio , it is possible to connect to my Icom Transceiver from outside my home network. For this connection, you need to let three ports pass from your Router to the internet or in other words you need to open three ports in your Router.
The most difficult issue I had was opening the ports from my Comcast Set up to allow the radio to “Port Forward” for remote access. After several calls to Comcast they straightened out my Port Forwarding and I was able to remote in from MD aboard my boat , during this past July 4th Holiday.
This new AP costs $49.99 and is available at the links below. I like the fact that you pay a one time charge, and do not have a monthly recurring fee for the APP. I experienced a few questions during the set up and the developer Marcus provided excellent support during set up.
Aboard my Boat in MD, I was able to check into a net on 2 Mtrs and 70CM, check a local beacon, and also work a few stations on FT8. You can view my own demo at home with a recent Pack Rat Net at the following link

Making FT8 contacts remote via the ap over my wireless network
Once connected this AP performed flawlessly and I was able to make FT8 connections on 2 Mtrs during my short test period. This AP also includes a logging program, which allows you to download your contacts as an ADI file. I plan to test this APP in the field during my next Rove on 6 Mtrs, in anticipation of the upcoming VHF Contest. You can also join the local nets from any room in your home, and not have to sit in your ham shack.
