Hi Randy,
A brief follow-up to my message sent earlier today. I
downloaded your file 081026_2330.tf2 and used it to confirm
the two problems that I suggested you might have:

I compiled a test version of MAP65 that divides the data
samples in your *.tf2 file by 10, to bring the signal level
into reasonable range. It also chops off the first 3
seconds of the file, thereby shifting the signal earlier by
3 seconds. The program then decodes your test signal
correctly, as shown in the screen dump at
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/WI7P.JPG .
The decoded message has DT = 2.3 s, so in your original file
it would have been 5.3 s. MAP65 searched over the range -2
to +5 s.
So, it seems that you are very close to having everything
working correctly!
