  In this work we analyze how coherent transport through a Quantum Dot (QD) in
the Kondo regime is affected by the weak capacitive interaction with a nearby
biased Quantum Point Contact (QPC). We find that when the QD-QPC interaction is
weak the width of the Kondo resonance is hardly affected by it. However, the
spectral weight of the Kondo peak is reduced leading to an observable
suppression of the conductance and the elastic transmission probability through
the QD.
