I'm not sure about how much the Flex demands the CPU, but I have the KAT500 Utility and the KPA Utility running while a third port manages the K3 (via HRD).  (A 4 port real RS-232 board in the computer, USB doesn't always play well in QRO environments; the 4th port manages keying CW and FSK while AFSK is still an option.)

These apps give me insight (SWR, power out etc) and control (standby, operate. switch antennas) over the transmitting and antenna elements (well, add PSTRotator for rotor and SteppIR control).

The key here is to make sure that it all runs on one computer successfully.

Since my station all runs on one computer at the same time, when I remote the computer, I remote the station (TeamViewer).  I add in Skype for audio (CW and phone).

So yes, it should be possible for you.  One bonus is that you're running your station (remotely or not) and no one has to know where you are and your log is accurate since it's based on the station location, not yours.

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. I also have the KPA500
Remote S/W working on a PC. But I would like to also monitor/control the
KAT500 at the same time.

As best I can tell you can only connect a single KXUSB cable to the KAT.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
