Can I control two 6600 series radios with one computer?

in SmartSDR CAT

It appears I would need to run two instances of CAT and DAX which it doesnt seem to allow? Most of the time I'd use one for VHF and the other for HF activities, but I'm also interested in attempting SO3/4R and/or say SO2R using the A slice of two separate 6600s and external switching/OTRSP? What are my options?

    I am able to run two simultaneous radio connections locally via one physical Windows 10 computer. I wanted to experiment with Windows 11, so I created a virtual machine running under “Virtual Box”. I added SmartSDR to Windows 11 with DAX and CAT. I got the copy of the windows 11 ISO from the Microsoft web site. Also of note is that the VM has its own IP address on my network rather than bridging off my host machine. Maybe doing something like this would accomplish what you’re after? It’s a no cost experiment. It might be a lot easier running Windows 10 in the VM vs Windows 11.

    Additionally, Hyper-V is included with Windows as a native hypervisor so you can use that instead of installing Virtual Box.

    Just an idea.

    More specifically, I want to do SO2R using one computer running one instance of.N1MM using 2 separate 6600 radios. Would that work across VMs? Seems like there should be an easier way…
