Steve,

I don't think anyone can give you proper settings for your particular 
computer, you will have to find them on your own, tuned to your 
particular setup.

First, make sure the audio is getting into the iMic.  Plug the audio 
cable into something that you know produces audio, like an MP3 player or 
a portable radio.

Can you see something on the waterfall - yes, it will not look like data 
mod signals, but you should see some flickering of colors on the 
waterfall display.  Adjust your iMic input level until that happens.
One hint - Windows7 by default mutes the line input to any soundcard 
(and iMic is a soundcard), so you have to explicitly unmute it.

Once you know you can get audio into the iMic and have it cause some 
sort of waterfall display, plug the audio cable into the radio and 
adjust the AF Gain, or Line Out level to obtain something on the 
waterfall.  You might have to adjust the soundcard line in level as 
well.  You should see a bit of blue background noise color and signal 
levels rising to yellows or reds.
