Strange...

I do this all the time with my APRN system.  I transmit SSTV with the 
Garmin Foretrex 201/TH-D7/VC-H1 combo with the D7 set for Mic-E 
burst-on-unkey on UHF.  It goes to my car's D700, and gets 
crossband-repeated to 146.100.  A voice repeater on 146.700 about 30 
miles away then retransmits both the SSTV and the packet burst 
sucessfully to my home station.  At home, a soundcard application 
(mmSSTV) decodes the now twice analog-repeated SSTV image while a KPC3+ 
decodes the now twice analog-repeated Mic-E bursts quite nicely.
