As shown in the attached figure, the PC is connected to the IC-7600 and the IC-PW1.
I cannot control IC-PW1 well in this condition.

Re: Prefix/Call not transferred to DXKeeper
+ AA6YQ comments below
Double clicking a call in SpotCollector with a prefix/call sign eg. FY/X8WW shows up in the DXKeeper filter box as X8WW but.... does show up in Capture as FY/X8WW with the prefix DXCC (FY) and is logged as FY/X8WW. While it is nice to know I worked the base call before I also have interest in knowing if I have worked the prefix DX before. Is this something that can be changed so the entire call is used to filter DXKeeper not just the 'base' call? Perhaps a toggle between the two? + There's a "Log Filter" panel in the middle of SpotCollector's Configuration window's General tab. + With this panel set to "Call", then if you double-click a Spot Database Entry of the form X/Y or Y/X where X designates the station's DXCC entity and Y is the base callsign, then DXKeeper will be directed to filter its Log Page Display to show all previous QSOs with Y, and with callsigns in which Y is the base callsign. For example, when I double-click a Spot Database Entry for VE3/UT3UA, DXKeeper shows my logged QSOs with UT3UA, TA2/UT3UA, and VE3/UT3UA. + If SpotCollector's "Log Filter" panel is set to "Entity" and you double-click a Spot Database Entry of the form X/Y or Y/X where X designates the station's DXCC entity and Y is the base callsign, then DXKeeper will be directed to filter its Log Page Display to show all previous QSOs with the DXCC entity designated by X. + By the way, it's FY/PY8WW that is currently QRV. 73, Dave, AA6YQ |

I forgot to mention in my previous e-mail that I have set the menu “CI-V Transceive ON” on the IC-7600. Otherwise, IC-7600 cannot control IC-PW1. (It is written in the ICOM manual).
?
>Now connect your computer to the 7600 and connect your CT-18 up to the 7600 and use DXLab Commander to control the 7600—still ignoring the PW1, don’t connect the 7600 to the PW1 with the accessory or CIV cables.??Can you now control the 7600 from Commander?
IC-7600 ? CT-18 (CI-V interface) ? PC (DXLab Commander), this connection allows DXLab Commander to control IC-7600.
The “Command Interval (ms)” is set to [100]. If it is smaller than that, the CI-V indicator lights up.
?
I am using the following connection to use WSJT-X.
IC-7600 ? USB cable ? PC (DXLab Commander), This connection also allows DXLab Commander to control the IC-7600.
