[amsat-bb] Having Issues with UISS/Soundmodem for ISS contacts.. (Long)

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
