You don’t need to have a “main” PC - either machine, as long as they’re on the same network as the Flex, is the main machine when you’re using it. Try running just one instance of SmartSDR and you should be fine. The PC is only a client to the 6000’s server.
Good luck!

Thanks, I got it to work. The problem was they were on the same network and it appears that I could not run two versions of Smart SDR on the same network at the same time.

Hi Irwin, I am not sure that I understand... You mention remote operation and same network which are conflicting setups.
Are you trying to connect SmartSDR to your 6500 where the computer and radio are on the same LAN segment? If so, there is no login or password. In this case, you should not be trying to use SmartLink.
If you are trying to connect to your radio from somewhere else in the world using the Internet, then you need SmartLink which has a login and password.
Let us know how you are trying to connect and what you have tried so far.

Yes. I had SmartSDR running at the same time I tried to run it on my Laptop. Both were on the same network. When I only ran SmartSDR on my Laptop, I was able to connect to my Flex6500.
I then installed the FlexControl on the Laptop and determined that the latency with the Control is from my main Desktop computer.

You actually can run multiple copies of SmartSDR on the same network at the same time. I do it all the time and at the office, we would not get any work done if you could not.
While I am glad you got your problem sorted out, there is something else going on that is causing your issue that does require resolving.
The 6500 is limited to 4 slices or 2 clients at the same time using MultiFlex. You could have 2 slices on 2 different computers on the same network without issue. What version of SmartSDR are you using?

Mike,
Thanks. Today I was able to have my Laptop and PC both logged into my Flex 6500 at the same time and TX sending CW.0
