Bob, the older I get, the harder it is to remember all the myriad of options in DXLabs.
I envy Joe and the others who help out. I have no idea how they can remember all of the various DXL settings.
So what I do... when I read a post asking how to fix, or modify, or can I (insert ? asked), I do a quick check of the settings I have enabled in that DXLabs module.
Most of the time I find that it's is set properly, but occasionally I find that I hadn't understood what that option would do correctly and make the appropriate change. This also offers me the opportunity to relearn some of the features available but use less frequently than others.
My thanks to both the questioners and those providing the answers. I learn; (but mostly relearn) some feature I had forgotten.

Please review the dozen or more times this question has been asked
in the last few weeks.
You apparently failed to follow the instructions when you last updated
the DXCC database which called for performing a "recompute" to update
the log in DXKeeper in order to reflect the updated DXCC Prefixes.
In DXKeeper, select the "Check Progress" tab then click "Recompute"
in the center of the bottom row. Once that has been completed, you
may also want to perform a recompute in SpotCollector to update any
"old" spots in the Spots database. In SpotCollector, select Config ->
Spot Database and click the Recompute button in the middle of the
right column.

I have been using Dxlab
Suite for a long time. For about a week, I have been researching for an answer
to a (maybe of not) slight
problem. But did not find and
answer.
When right click on a call line in Spotcollector, that call
populates (goes to) call field of DxKeeper, DxView, Pathfinder
and
Commander's Bandspread. Also there is an indication on that band in
PropView Prediction.
I thought that right clicking on a call line in
Spotcollector also send that call to Winwarbler. If so then it is no longer
doing
it.
Is this a "senior moment" or I may have clicked a wrong
buttons in any DxLab Config?
Question: When right clicking on a call in
Spotcollector, is that call sent to WW?
>>>Right-clicking an
Entry in the Spot Database Display causes a menu of several commands to
appear. If you then select the "Lookup"
command, SpotCollector will direct
DXView and Pathfinder to perform "lookup" operations for the entry's
callsign.
>>>Double-clicking a Spot Database Display Entry
will convey that Entry's callsign to the other DXLab applications,

- responds correctly if PropView stops running
- with the "Generate propagation forecast" option enabled and Commander and PropView running, responds to a mouse click of the words
Short or Long in the Main window's Heading panel by directing PropView to generate a short-path or long-path forecast from the

Re: Transceiver command rejected
If the "transceiver command rejected" messages only occurs when you're transmitting, then RFI is most likely the cause, and there's no need to send me an errorlog.txt file.
