I use ve7cc exclusively for several years and do not recall it ever drop. Do you have STAY ALIVE checked?  That's all I can suggest.

question for all.... what is the best packet cluster to hook
 up that will stay alive. I like K4ZR but it continually drops out, 
Ve7CC almost as bad. I can open a web page as DX Summit and no problems 
but I loose the ability in DX4WIN to click on a spot and have the rig 
jump to that frequency. thanks 73's Cort K4WI
