One more point. In the radio DATA set up screen you are showing DATA MODE OFF so your settings are good but wont be used. You have to put the radio in USB-D for data mode while in USB then it will use the settings you configured in the DATA MODE screen. When using a program like WSJT-X the radio will show USB-D. Also in DATA MODE be sure Mic is OFF for both horizontal rows. You don't want stray audio coming in via the mic while receiving audio from the PC.
