Other than extra features on other sound modem software packages, are there
actual disadvantages on decoding packets where soundmodem does not work as
well?

I would say those two packets sound fairly decent but they don't sound like

PocketPacket on iPhone with a baofeng radio was sent through no antenna to
simulate a weaker signal. The only reason I started testing this stuff was
because I noticed I was not decoding a large amount of packets I was
hearing, and they didn't seem to have a huge amount of noise on them.
