I don't think I've ever heard a MT AIO that didn't sound like the TX dev was flat topping on the limiter (WAY too loud). They always have TX delay waaaay too long, at least half a second. My OT2's have a hard time decoding them too.
The advanced AIO config (download from byonics) will let you turn TX delay to a sane delay, like 120MS to 180MS max. The TX level is controlled with a pot. If you are routing "speaker" audio into the sound card the tones should be about the same level. If the low tone is at a higher level than the high tone many digis will have trouble decoding it. The tones should be a smooth round shape, no flat tops, or buzz saw. That was a good idea using AGWE to look at your wave form;-) The link below is a MT AIO that wandered into my area. The user had cranked the TX dev pot up. He did turn it down after I contacted him, but it still sounds too loud. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StLHPvVUX5c Short packets win, long packets get clobbered. Your AIO looks good with MicE and status only sent about once every 10 beacons. You can also test how well digis decode you by programming your path to a nearby digis call sign. Make adjustments until it starts to receive you well. Remove WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 and put a nearby digis call in (N7JEX-10) Test if it digis your problem Tracker.
