Not only did it rescue my own failed logging recording, but it allowed me to hear my distorted audio first-hand, and hopefully will allow me to troubleshoot the problem before the next pass.

You CAN hear and judge your own downlink audio on FO-29. Use headphones and set the "TX monitor" volume to zero so that when you transmit the only audio in the headphones is the RX audio. With the RX volume control sufficiently high, you can hear your downlink audio over the sound of your own voice in your head. This must be done using headphones. If you use a loudspeaker you will get feedback.
