Ian,
Here are the two outputs with the comp button on and off.
<SOH>00uVE7CUS:6 .Q$-A%H y jpskmail 0.6.0c80DB<EOT>
<SOH>00uVE7CUS:26 !4904.13N/12305.40Wyjpskmail 0.6.0c05F7<EOT>

Hi Darrel
The compressed string (the first one above) doesn't make sense, almost
certainly because it may contain non-printable ASCII characters -- one
of the features of compressed format.
Can you tell me what the characters are between the colon (:) and
"jpskmail", in hexadecimal. For example, at the moment they look like:
0x36 6
0x20 space
0x2e .
0x51 Q
0x24 $
0x2d -
0x41 A
0x25 %
0x48 H
0x20 space
0x20 space
0x79 y
0x20 space
I suspect (some of) the spaces aren't really spaces, and there may be
some other characters that don't appear here at all.
In particular, I suspect the first character after the colon (preceding
the "6") is actually the non-printing 0x1c (or possibly 0x1d), which is
the APRS Data Type Identifier for compressed data.
