Mick, I have a KPA/KAT500 combo connected to my 6600. Both the KPA and KAT are connected to “serial” ports (USB to serial adapters) on the shack computer that runs 24/7. None are connected to the Flex. Elecraft’s excellent remote software is running on the shack computer in Host mode. This has to be started manually, but could be auto started, I’ve just not done so. I can access my shack computer remotely to (re)start the hosting if the computer reboots for any reason.
From the laptop, I can connect to the shack hosted software and have full control over both the KPA and the KAT. A quick bump of RF, like the Flex tune mode instantly tunes the KAT, selects an antenna based on the RF. Putting the KPA in Operate mode automatically selects the proper band on the next burst of RF. I use this whether on my local LAN but not in the shack, or hundreds (thousands) of miles away. I’m very pleased with the KPA/KAT functionality for the Flex. tnx Mike / W5JR Alpharetta GA > On Feb 26, 2020, at 18:02, w6mob <w6...@arrl.net> wrote: > > I am trying to run my Flex6600/ KPA500/KAT500 remotely. > > Does anyone know if it is possible to hook up a PC & a Flex to a KAT500 at > the same time? > > I have the KPA500/KAT500/Flex working together.
