The default setting of this item is "Link to [REMOTE]."
This setting is selected when using the Transceive function by outputting the control signal from [REMOTE]
after converting the communicating data at the USB port to CI-V data, or when operating the existing remote
control system with the optional CT-17. In this case, the USB port communication speed is limited to 19,200
bps because the [REMOTE] jack's maximum communication speed is 19,200 bps.
Thus, Icom strongly recommends the setting of "Unlink to [REMOTE]" in cases other than those above.
By using "Unlink to [REMOTE]," you can operate the USB port with a speed of up to 115,200 bps.

IMPORTANT: Set to "Unlink to [REMOTE]" when using the spectrum scope function of RS-BA1 with the IC-
7300, or IC-7851 through a USB cable. Otherwise RS-BA1 spectrum scope will not function since the data
transfer speed of the USB port is insufficient for the amount of data required by the spectrum scope.
