Mike,
Thanks! The batch file that Warren put on github is just what I
was looking for!

Search for a recent email (a month or two ago) on this very topic from
Warren/KD4Z. He’s written a Windows script that does this very thing, available
at his github. Put it in your Windows Startup directory. Works great. Written
for KAT500, KPA500 and KPA1500, up to two instances, for those remote SO2R
stations. You edit the script with a few particulars of your station, all
described within the script.
tnx

Jack,
I'm the original poster. I may be misstating what I want to accomplish.
At the remote station location I want the KPA500 Remote software to start in
host mode, with connection to the KPA500 hardware and the KAT500 remote
software to also start in host mode connected to the hardware.
Then I can start the software from my laptop and connect to the remote and see
the KAT500 and KPA500.
I can have the software start at the hardware site, but how do I get it to
automatically connect to the hardware so the HOST mode is working?
Remote site is where the hardware is located, KPA500, KAT500, Radio.
Control site is where I am running the station from.
I can use something like TeamViewer to log into the Control site and click on the
"Host" button on the running software, but that is what I want to avoid.
I use RCForb for normal operation, but that only controls the radio and the
KPA500, it does not properly control the KAT500.
And when I'm doing a contest using WriteLog Remote I don't have RCForb running
so then I need the KPA500 remote to run the amp.

Are you referring to front or rear panel power? The K3 Utility can certainly
power on a KPA500 if the rear panel switch is on. If that switch is off, it
must be turned on before the front panel switch (or remote power-on) works. Now
if you have a big relay in the power line to the KPA, it needs to be enabled as
well.
Setting up remote stations is a skill. There are many ways to do it, and each
need to be evaluated to get it done the way _you_ want.
By the way, to the original poster - if you are using a Mac, just add the two utilities
to the user’s "Login Items” list in the User’s & Groups System Preferences
pane. You just have to make sure that user is started up when the system powers up.
There are other ways to do this, but by far that is the easiest.

If you're running Windows, yes I know how to do that. But keep in mind that
the KPA Utility will not connect to the KPA500 unless the amp is first powered
on.
To have the programs start on boot, just drag them into the Windows "Startup"
folder (I am on Windows 7).
In Windows 10, search "Startup Apps."

Subject: [Elecraft] KAT500 Remote software and KPA500 remote software
Can these remote software's be in host mode on startup? I run a remote
and would like to have them connect to the hardware and be in host mode
on boot of the computer. Right now I just log on remotely and start
each one as needed.
Thanks,
Gordon - N1MGO
