That is excessive Thomas. I've had many lengthy ALE-400 QSO's without any sync problems. In fact, John (VE5MU) and I recently tried to force the mode out-of-sync without success. I think you may have a problem with your setup and the first place I'd look is VOX delay. The TX/RX turn around time with ALE-400 is probably less than 1/2 second so if the VOX delay is long enough, it will cut-off a portion of the incoming signal causing repeats and sync issues. What kind of rig / interface are you using?
