By any chance have you turned off CiV transceive on the the Icom radio?
all the other software packages you mention work by continually polling
the radio, this creates a constant flow of updated info for the beam's
interface to follow.
However Dxbase only polls the receiver when it needs to (a far 'nicer'
way to behave!) so for the beam to detect changes you will either need
to cause the software to read the radio (I.e log something or click a
spot ..) or turn CiV transceive back on, with this on the radio sends
data out the CiV interface any time any setting is changed giving the
stepper the info it needs to follow you around the bands without waiting
for software to poll it 
Hope this helps
