Debugging an error message

As part of the recent EmComm Training Org exercise, we were supposed to send a standard ICS-213 form message. I'm getting this error message from the RMS upon sending. Regular non-form messages are sending error-free. RadioMail 1.5.0 (1) on an iPad Mini with iOS 18.3. Same error using UV-PRO or mobilink TNC4. Radios and RMS are feet apart. Error is repeatable.

*** Error check failed on receiving B2 message. [Received data stream not a correct format] - Disconnecting

I'm looking for troubleshooting advice. I have the SoundModem monitor output stream from the RMS.

Thanks

EmComm Training Org exercise message failure using RadioMail.pdf (39.3 KB)

So, I don't see any issues with the RF side of this. It does look like
Radiomail corrupted the message or the compression stream. Have you deleted
this message and tried again? I have tested several times with my setup and
have not been able to duplicate this.

Thanks for checking. I may have "solved" it. In trying different
troubleshooting, I got similar errors with sending any ICS form. Non-form
messages went through fine. Even though I had the current 1.1.3.0 set of
forms, I did a "Check for Update" which I believe refreshes the forms. The
errors have gone away in a couple of ICS form tests. So, perhaps my forms
were corrupted. Anyhow, my fingers are crossed.

I’m using forms version 1.1.15.0 and getting a similar error when trying to send the ICS-213.

Tried the update and says it’s current and have the most recent version of the Radiomail app. 1.5.0 (1)

I’m on and iPhone 13 Pro Max and iOS 18.6.2

Any ideas?
