I have been using the ICOM 756PROII, PW-1 amplifier, and DXBase without issue for several years. Here is my arrangement which works for me.
a. From the computer USB port I go thru a Belkin USB to Serial adapter The cable I am using from the Belkin USB/Serial adapter is the K1NU ICOM CI-V. b The K1NU ICOM CI-V cable plugs into the Belkin adapter and runs to an ICOM CT-17 interface box and is plugged into position three (3) on the CT-17. c. In position Two (2) on the CT-17 I have a cable running to the PW-1 connected into the CI-V Remote Control jack on the back of the amplifier. d. In position one (1) of the CT-17 box, I connect to the remote CI-V jack on the rear of the 756PROII. I played around for several weeks and was unsuccessful with any other arrangement. What made mine work was going to the K1NU CI-V cable from the computer to the CT-17 box. Several people make aftermarket cable that I am certain would work just as well. It was a very frustrating experience but this arrangement has worked very well for several years.

Or use ACCESS or Excel have it number each QSL after you take care of the Dupes and see if you can put the qso number line and Ref number near each other. I do not know how to build a program with Access or Excel but been told it can be done, when I was building my own logging program in DOS several years ago but changeing DXBase to this is a matter unknown to me. You may have to run 2 separate logging programs DXBase and Excel. Good problem.. Keep the Faith, Jim
