Update. . .as it turned out Kostas (and others) correctly identified the
problem. After DX4WIN had crashed upon launch (for still unknown reason), I
went about re-entering my various parameters ( address, station data, 
etc.).
In the DXCC section, I thought I had turned on SSB (checked the box) as one
of the valid modes. As it turns out, I had NOT included SSB as one of the
valid modes for DXCC awards. That was the cause of my problem. Thanks to
those who responded!! 73. . . Dave, W0FLS

Under Awards>dxcc you need to check the valid bands and modes. I suspect
that some bands or modes are missed.

Subject: [Dx4win] Rig Control and PSK

Trying to operate PSK with my IC-7300 and DX4WIN.

I've got the USB setup and working on port 20 and I can read the freq into
DX4WIN V-8.

When I open the PSK window and do an Alt-S to set TX keying I get an
exception when I try to set keying to Port 20.

The 7300 work wonderfully using WSJT-x off of port 20 no problems. Both
control and keying works fine.

Why not with DX4WIN.

Hi Larry,

While there is a "DATA" mode that can be logged in DX4WIN, aren't you
really operating PSK, WSJT or some other "data" mode in these cases?
Which mode should DX4WIN pick?

Contact me off-line. Assuming that IC-7851 and IC-7610 have the same
mode encodings, I can send you a modified .RIG file that will report
"DATA" mode.

- Jim

Larry, looking at the command set, I do not think this can be done
easily. The DATA mode(s) are in a different byte of the command
response than the main modes (CW, SSB etc.). Maybe Guy ON4AOI will
have an idea.
