Unless the power supplies have a sense input than senses the putout than no you cannot place the output of the 2 supplies in parallel
just my 2 cents

I have been using a Kenwood TS2000 for several years. great all around rig. All mode, All band 160 - 6 Meter, 2 Meter 100 Watts out, 440 50 Watts out, optional 23 cm 5 watts the radio will also do cross band repeat, and can listen to both HF and VHF/UHF at the same time
always get good audio reports with the stock mike.
Just my 2 cents

The easy way of doing it is get a copy of Real VNC, load the computer at the rig as the server and the other computer as the Viewer.
When you enter the IP address of the server VNC you will see the screen of that computer on the computer with the viewer.
I have been in the living room down stairs and ran PSK on the rig and computer up stairs
easy to do
my 2 cents

I use the SGC 239 $198.99 connected to the ladder line of a G5RV Jr and it works great all you need is RF and add some DC thats it

I was not happy with the SWR on the G5RV Jr. It tuned 40, 20, 10 meter using the tuner in the Rig
I installed a SGC 239 ATU at the ladder line and ran coax and 12vdc to the shack, now my G5RV Jr tunes 10 - 80 with almost a 1:1 swr, I also noticed their was a big improvement in the receive signal strength.
after doing some checking I found out that if you are using a antenna like the G5RV and tune at the coax end you are tuning the coax for 50 ohms but not the antenna. Placing the tuner at the latter line now you are tuning the antenna
just my 2 cents

Why place the tuner at the radio to tune the Coax to 50 ohms and not the antenna?
Get an AUT and some ladder line, Connect the ladder line to the Dipole and to the ATU. Now you will be using the L & C of the ATU to tune the antenna for a match. The input to the ATU will be 50 ohms back to your rig
I have a dipole up 30 ft fed with ladder line to a SGC ATU in the attic, Apply 12Vdc and RF and I work 10 - 80 meters with 1:1.3 max SWR.
QST has a real good article on ATU page 47 this month

eHam Forums / Elmers / Kenwood RC-2000 Remote head display ""NOT INSTALLED"
|

My TS-B2000 RC-2000 controller started to have a issue were it would not turn on the radio, even if I press the radio power ON the radio power on the right back off
I even tried it with my other TS-2000 with the same results.] I spent the $350.00 for the Remote head kit.
I decided to fix the original Remote head I replace the PCA with the part number PCA that was in the unit with the unit. $85.00 is a lot better than $350.
When I plug the remote head in the display shows "PROG 115200 bps" and nothing else, I can change it to different speeds by pressing the upper left button.
If I press the 2nd left button I get "NOT INSTALLED"
I get the same thing on both of my TS-2000 with this head the other one works with no problems
How do I install it?
