No, KISS mode doesn't filter anything. Just because you can hear it doesn't mean it can be decoded. A bit of noise or excessive distortion can kill it. I was driving around with my D710 over the weekend in a bad spot (bad spot for APRS that is, great spot for camping and partying) and heard a ton of packets I thought by ear should be decoded, and got nothing.
(Yeah, normally I'd have taken a T2, but I needed voice too on a single antenna, and wanted to do more field testing with the GTRANS.)
