[Elecraft] Flex6600 + KPA500 + KAT500

[Rick Bates, NK7I]

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.
