Here's the deal, I've been having good 70cm ISS reception, however I get no digipeats. I know it's busy, but in 3+ months of trying nothing..!! Rig is a IC-9100, microkeyer II, and using SatPC32ISS. A pair of very capable CP yagi's with AZ/EL tracking. Two ways I operate the 9100 is as follows. either split mode and SatPC32ISS in cat mode and doing doppler coordination, or using 3 memory channels in the 9100, one low, one center, and one high on the ISS 70cm side. (437.500, 437.550, & 437.60) and I use only 1 -20 (less)watts normally.
I suspect I have errors in my outgoing packets. Not one has been digipeated. I'm using CQ and Ariss when sending. Nothing..
I need to know what I have wrong with my settings in UISS/soundmodem. The alc is good and the soundmodem via the MKII seems to be working fine.
Need copy of a good uiss config file for me to compare my settings or take a look at what I've pasted here and tell me what I've got wrong..
Here are the current settings for UISS

Any help would be appreciated. I'm nowhere closer now that when I began after loading the programs..
