Those settings seem right to me.  I also have my AUX input set to 100  (full 
on), MIC input off, and control the input level from the computer and/or  
interface.

In  review of the suggesting values, I would suggest the following:

AGC  should be ON.

ATTN should be  0 or off.  There's no  likelihood of overload unless you have 
a station on the same band within 3  to 5 miles.

RF Gain depends on antenna efficiency, typically 30% to 75%  depending on 
local noise.

Set level from computer/interface such  that power output in PSK is 30 to 50 
watts with no ALC action.  SP  should be OFF.

Should produce great results.
