 If you haven't already, you could tune the radio to the APRS frequency and see if UISS+AGWPE can  decode these.  I do it all the time, helps catch config errors/radio settings before the pass. 

Also, if you are trying the APRS way, send a "hello" packet addressed to CQ via APRS, an ACK back from the aprs system confirms many things.  After that ISS packet is arm chair work,
