Jay,
     Your settings should look something like this:
Mode - Data A - This turns off the CMP and equalizers
Power - 50 Watts looks good
Mike/line in - should be set such that the ALC indicates as you show 
with the power slider on the software just below the top
Make sure the software know to use the USB codec speaker for its output 
and not the computer's sound card.
Turn up the monitor to just hear the transmitted signal. It will not be 
a steady tone.
VOX - ON

This should work. You may need to adjust the vox gain to turn the radio 
on when tone turns on; it a menu setting.

One last thought. You will get a steady tone if you push the tune button 
on the software, yet the signal you want with transmit enabled will not 
be steady.

73,
Barry
